Utterly weird and bizarre, can't believe no one's talking about it

Also, not totally convinced that she didn't steal Colleen Hoover's cover designer for this one

This turned out to a be a review, while I was still reading it, but I just had to let some thoughts out of my overflowing brain:

Mind you, spoilers ahead..

SpoilersÂ…Â…!!





The start of this book reminded me of a reversed copy of another book by the same author that I did : Shadow lover. The big question in that book being: is he or isnÂ’t he?
In this case the question is: Does the family discover that Kitty is posing as Bella? If yes, they must have known this from day 1 with all the clues Bella-beast is shedding around.

Kitty posing as Bella is a disaster as Kitty, or named by her cousin as Podge, continuously forgets important Bella facts Bellas age, her accent. Kitty forgets Bella is supposed to have been absent for 5 years, not 13 years Kitty herself. Kitty has been in a cave accident, not Bella! Etc.. Whenever Kitty is grasping at straws she reminds herself of the following mantra: WWBD, What Would Bella Do? The worst advice you can give yourself girl. Arghh!

Reading this itÂ’s ticking off a bingo card on a merry go round. Forgets age, blunders around with contact lenses, forgets to be nasty to staff. Ah yet another clue handed out! Thank you Podge.

Does Ian realise Bella is Kitty or doesnÂ’t he at this stage? IÂ’m getting dizzy by all the twist, turns and slip of tongues. I did think he did, but Ian is acting so weird right now that I suspect he doesnÂ’t.

Kitty is in my honest opinion a very very stupid woman, no sorry, she is very very gullible. Kitty is molding herself fervently into the image of her beloved cousin Bella who is nothing but trouble. Kitty doesnÂ’t have a personality, she is Â…well plain stupid, there is no other word for Podge. The perfect doll for Bella. There, itÂ’s said.

If it turns out that Ian knew from the start Bella was Kitty, then he is welcome to her. But why on earth would he be into Kitty? But in case he didnÂ’t, then Ian is as stupid as Kitty and again..welcome to her.

I continue the ride..at least itÂ’s in an Alfa.

88% yes!!! He knew.. why on earth would you fall in love with Kitty? And did you sleep with Bella being Bella? Huh?

Ok finished! Happy for the happy ever after. Just donÂ’t let her off the premises.

3 stars as I kept on reading, the characters were a bit more fleshed out. And I donÂ’t know 4 stars are too many, 2 to few. So 3 it is.romance skipped-throughout-to-the-end1 Lena Marie14
