“Enthralling...it’s a testament to Nugent’s storytelling prowess and gift for well-timed plot twists that, even knowing there’s a train wreck looming, readers won’t be able to look away. This is a masterpiece.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
From the internationally bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond comes a twisted suspense novel about two sisters and the scandal that changes their lives forever.
If my sister hadn’t been beautiful, none of it would have happened.
Sixteen-year-old Ruby and her older sister Erin live comfortably in their Boston home with their pastor father and Irish mother, until one day Ruby is involved in an incident with Erin’s boyfriend, Milo, that causes her family to implode. Ruby and her mother leave in a hurry for Ireland, while Erin and her father stay behind.
As the story alternates between Erin and Ruby’s perspectives over decades, two very different women emerge. Erin struggles with trust issues. Ruby is set on a course of self-destruction.
When the truth threatens to emerge from this “brilliantly dark and tangled web” (Graham Norton), the sisters’ lives may be upended all over again. Can either of them ever truly recover from the events of that day in 1999?

Critic reviews
"The ensemble cast brings out the pain of these separate paths, with consequences that reverberate decades later."

"Five narrators work together to create a layered performance that moves smoothly between Ruby and Erin, two teenage sisters caught up in their family's conservative morality. The girls are split up when Ruby is sent to Ireland with their mother while Erin stays in Boston with their father. The narrators give the women contrasting temperaments through changes in cadence, pitch, and emotional intensity, helping listeners track their evolving circumstances. Lisa Flanagan and Helen Laser give particular weight to the sisters’ recollections, while Alana Kerr Collins, Jennifer Fitzgerald, and GM Hakim broaden the supporting cast."
