The Sister In Law by Joanne Ryan

Published this week, The Sister in Law is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Frieda McFadden. Published by Boldwood Books and on tour with Rachel's Random Resources this is a book I was not able to put down.

About the Book:

Would you invite a stranger in?

When Megan loses her beloved husband, Rick, in a tragic car accident, she feels like it’s her own life that has ended. She feels too young to be a widow. Walking around the house that had been their home – so quiet without him – nothing feels the same.

But at his funeral, she sees a face she doesn’t recognise. A heavily-pregnant young woman, with a sweet heart-shaped face that is somehow a little familiar. This stranger introduces herself as Emily, Rick’s estranged sister. She explains how she’s been searching for her brother for years, but – as she bursts into noisy sobs – she knows she’s too late now.

Megan finds herself taking pity on the sister-in-law she’d never met. And quickly Emily becomes more and more a part of her life, even moving into the spare room of her house.

It feels less empty than before. And at first it’s comforting to Megan. But – even when it’s a relative of the man you loved more than anyone – can you trust a stranger?

Review:

I absolutely flew through this book. Megan and Emily are the main characters and each tells their POV. Megan is grieving after the death of her husband when Emily shows up claiming to be his sister. Emily is an entitled girl and is so easy to hate. She thinks she deserves more than she has and is very self-centered. The book is very weak written and I felt as if I was in the house with Emily and Megan. When you read the twist you will be blown away. A highly enjoyable read!
