It Would be Wrong to Steal My Sister's Boyfriend (Wouldn't It?), Sophie Ranald

Read on the Kindle, after reading about it on a blog.

I don't generally read a lot of 'chick lit', but I do like to indulge every so often.

Ellie is the caring sister, working in PR for a charity, spending evenings in with her friend Ben.  Her sister Rose is the glamorous one, beautiful, slim and working for an art dealer.  Once Ellie meets Rose's new boyfriend Oliver, all thoughts of sisterhood are out of the window as Ellie falls hook, line and sinker.

Ellie's method of winning Oliver is to make herself into her sister's image, underlined by a scene where she literally mistakes Rose for her own reflection.

If you enjoy your fiction where all the ends are neatly tucked in, and everyone in the story gets exactly their just desserts in the end, then this is the book for you.
