I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Cute novel--a bit unrealistic, but a good beach read.

A well written contemporary novel that I enjoyed reading. I would recommend this one to other fans of the genre.

I really enjoy this author, I have read several of her other books. The Other Brother was missing something for me. Mona lacked a sympathic quailty that would make her relatable. I felt at times she didn't realize that it's hard to hold together a family even without the extra drama. I think that the story is solid and the writing is good. It really was the character's and their "secrets" that just didn't work for me.

My review has been posted to Goodreads.

Review has also been tweeted as usual.

Thank you! :c)

A Trifle:
This book is a trifle. Easy to read cut plot idea and eminently forgettable. The plot is simple...imagine you marry Mick Jagger's younger brother. They don't have much of a relationship and on a whim at Easter you invite him to join your family holiday in order to bond. Then he shows up...that is pretty much it. The entire plot. Sure the characters are disguised but the band is obviously the Stones. Throw is a not so shocking secret and you have the entire book. If it sounds like your cup of tea enjoy. If you are on a beach and looking for a piece of fluff go for it. Just don't expect anything else.

Though an easy, light read, too predictable for me. Not my cup of tea, but i don't generally go for genre fiction. Should be marketed more to teens than adults, in my opinion.
