My Thoughts: This book is from the Kelly Ripa's book club. Apparently Ms Ripa and I have vastly different book tastes. This book started out promising with a decent premise but then died a very slow and painful death. The characters were boring and I couldn't find one character that I liked or even believed. The author used stereotypes (ie the smart sister was plain and boring and the beautiful sister was outgoing and very popular). The storyline progressed at a snail's pace; so much so that I didn't even care who was the 'bad sister'. I'm very glad I borrowed this book from the library and didn't buy it. Drivel. Think of a really badly written soap opera (yes, they're bad to begin with) with dull characters and you've got "The Good Sister".

My Rating: 0/5 (aka drivel; didn't even finish it)
