From the internationally bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond comes a twisted suspense novel about two sisters and the scandal that changes their lives forever.
If my sister hadnt been beautiful, none of it would have happened.
Sixteen-year-old Ruby and her older sister Erin live comfortably in their Boston home with their pastor father and Irish mother, until one day Ruby is involved in an incident with Erins boyfriend, Milo, that causes her family to implode. Ruby and her mother leave in a hurry for Ireland, while Erin and her father stay behind.
As the story alternates between Erin and Rubys perspectives over decades, two very different women emerge. Erin struggles with trust issues. Ruby is set on a course of self-destruction.
When the truth threatens to emerge from this brilliantly dark and tangled web (Graham Norton), the sisters lives may be upended all over again. Can either of them ever truly recover from the events of that day in 1999?
