Twins Sarah and Paula couldn't be more different - Paula is the golden girl whilst Robin is the rebellious 'runt'. When their parents marriage breaks up, the girls are separated - Sarah goes to live in Atlanta with her mother, Angela, and Coca Cola executive, Drew, whilst Robin remains with her gardener father, Jack and Drew's ex-wife and son, Callum in England. In the present day, Robin is a reclusive ex-rock star who spends all her time hiding in her house and avoiding callers whilst Sarah is desperately trying to regain custody of 3 year old, Violet. But how did this state of affairs come about?
The plot is cleverly crafted using short chapters from both Sarah and Robin's past and present day thoughts. The denouement is totally unexpected and a touch anticlimactic. Nevertheless, an interesting read to be recommended.
