The Better Sister by Alafair Burke is a Thriller published in 2019 & one of my least liked books of 2019.

⭐️⭐️/5

Synopsis->

Though Chloe was the younger of the two Taylor sisters, she always seemed to be in charge. She was the honor roll student with big dreams and an even bigger work ethic. Nicky was always restless . . . and more than a little reckless—the opposite of her ambitious little sister. She floated from job to job and man to man, and stayed close to home in Cleveland.

For a while, it seemed like both sisters had found happiness. Chloe earned a scholarship to an Ivy League school and moved to New York City, where she landed a coveted publishing job. Nicky married promising young attorney Adam Macintosh, and gave birth to a baby boy they named Ethan. The Taylor sisters became virtual strangers.

Now, more than fifteen years later, their lives are drastically different—and Chloe is married to Adam. When he’s murdered by an intruder at the couple’s East Hampton beach house, Chloe reluctantly allows her teenaged stepson’s biological mother—her estranged sister, Nicky—back into her life. But when the police begin to treat Ethan as a suspect in his father’s death, the two sisters are forced to unite . . . and to confront the truth behind family secrets they have tried to bury in the past.

Review ->
The plot was new & I was pretty interested till almost the middle of the book. But somewhere along the story , too many things started to happen & they were not delivered properly. I remember not liking the book much when I had finished reading it a few months back. But while writing this review, I feel like the plot was laid out well, it just wasn’t presented well enough for the reader to enjoy the twists without getting overwhelmed. I guess what the story was trying to say was “Family will always be there” , but I didn’t really see that come across clearly as well.
