2.5
“This story is about mirror image twins separated when they were only 3 or 4 years old. The heroine, Kristy, has no idea she has a sister, let alone a twin, until she goes to the hotel where her adoptive parents honeymooned years ago. While there she is "recognized", but is believed to be her twin sister who disappeared 2 years prior. She encounters her sisters husband, Armand, who, at first, believes she is his wife but soon discovers she is not.
While at dinner with Armand, to try and find out more about her sister, she learns from him that her sister disappeared on July 4th two years prior. When Kristy hears this she realizes that her twin is dead because on that day two years ago she almost died. She experienced the same feelings her twin did as she was dying. Kristy told Armand (who believed Colette, Kristy's twin had left him for another man) that her sister was dead.
Armand and Colette have two young children and when Kristy learns about them she wants to go and meet them and Armand agrees. She also wants to know what truly happened to her sister. She knows her sister would never have left her husband and especially not her little children, not after the childhood she, Colette, experienced after losing her twin. The reason Kristy "knows" her sister wouldn't do those things is because she feels she has a connection with her and knows how she would feel.
Anyway, the truth is discovered that her sister was killed in a car accident heading to Geneva to try and find her twin. It is learned that Armand's sister, Stephanie, was filling everyone with poison about Colette. At dinner, Kristy explodes at Stephanie, at the whole family for not supporting her sister while she was suffering from post pardum depression. Yada, yada, yada.
It was an interesting story and the two little kids, Pierre and Eloise, were adorable, but it just went way too fast to be believable. Armand and Kristy fall in love after like 2 days. Sorry, didn't buy it. In fact, it seems a bit creepy, what with Kristy looking exactly like his dead wife. I just wasn't convinced enough that what he felt for Kristy was real, although, his words to Kristy near the end when he was explaining his feelings for her were sweet:
"You don't tug on my heart, Kristy. You grab it." One of his hands slid up into her hair, grabbing hard. "You don't appeal to my mind, you possess it."
..."You don't dance lightly on my soul. You claim it so completely I know I'd be forever incomplete without you."
I thought that was nice but the rest of the story just dragged in some parts and left me wanting more. It was still a decent read but nothing to write home about.”
