Alvie is downing in
her life. She’s drinking too much, eating crazily, and hating her
job as a classified advertising representative. Her identical twin
sister, Beth, is everything she’s not. She’s the good twin, her
mother’s favorite, married to a rich, hot, Italian with a villa in
Taormina. She also has an adorable baby son.
Alvie’s life has
just about reached bottom when her sister starts calling begging her
to visit. Alvie can’t stand the thought until she loses her job and
is thrown out of her apartment. Suddenly a stay in an Italian villa
sounds pretty good even it she has to see her perfect sister.
Things get more
complicated when Beth asks Alvie to pretend to be her for a few hours
so she can meet someone. It sounds simple enough, even a chance to
take over her sister’s life, but when Beth turns up dead the game
becomes significantly more challenging and deadly.
Alvie is a great
narrator. She’s crazy and foul-mouthed, but also amusing. She’s
such a strong character that the other characters in the book seem
pale in comparison If you enjoy eccentric characters, you’ll like
this book. However, there’s explicit sex, violence, and cursing. If
those things turn you off, this isn’t your book. Mad is the first
book in a trilogy. It will be interesting to see what Alvie gets up
to next.
I received this book
from Dutton for this review.
