This was a unique and intriguing story about what happens when your life turns upside down and life as you know it is no longer familiar to you. I felt like the quite large cast of characters, including children and friends, were well developed and I was rooting for a happy, satisfying ending. The plot line is definitely far fetched and at times oversimplified but I was still gripped and drawn into it, as you can easily put that to side due t9 the sympathetic characters. My first introduction to this author and this turned into an interesting and dramatic read which I definitely enjoyed.

I love books that have twin main characters. It always fascinates me to read about twins and I love seeing how different authors handle them - will they be similar, will they be different? Will they have a close relationship, will they be distant? And what will they do when life throws them a curve ball that neither is prepared to deal with?

I liked both twin characters and how different they were from each other. This kept me guessing with the secrets, and the web of lies. Best of all - I did not predict how it would end.

Review - A Life Worth Living By Louise guy

Rating: 3.5 Stars

I really enjoyed this one!

I can't say too much about this one without spoiling key plot points, but i read this on holiday and it was the perfect read. If follows Eve and Leah who are identical twins—but beyond that, they’re polar opposites. Struggling journalist Leah envies Eve’s seemingly perfect life—the loyal husband, the beautiful twin daughters, the stellar career—little knowing that what Eve longs for most is Leah’s independence.

Their special bond is intertwined with secrets creating a dynamic that keeps you reading - and that plot twist!

Pretty sure i requested this by mistake as it is not my kind of thing at all, therefore unfair of me to give my opinion.

Sadly this one wasn’t for me, and didn’t keep me engrossed. I expected a bit more drama but that didn’t come unfortunately, I didn’t really feel a connection with the characters and just wanted a little bit more from this.

Ahhhh too CHICKLIT for me and not enough mystery and thriller. I like many reviewers were deceived by the books description

I requested A Life Worth Living by Louise Guy, since it sounded like an interesting family drama. The author has several other books with similar cover art, but it is not clear to me if they all go together. I also see this book has a newer edited version. It is a little difficult to know where to start with this author.

SPOILER

I love a good chick lit storyline, as there's nothing that helps me unwind more than an easy, stress-free read. The synopsis for this book sounded fairly mysterious, with twins Eve and Leah having quite different lies and both having secrets, and a split second decision allows them to achieve the lives they've always wanted. Now, that split second decision involving one twin trying to pass herself off as the dead twin, is where the book gets completed ruined. Which parent, husband, or good friend, would truly not be able to tell the difference between two identical twins. The idea that someone would get away with this is frankly absurd, and that element of the story alone means you need to suspend disbelief far too much for this to be a genuine work of fiction; it definitely veers more towards the fantastical. It's hard to enjoy a book when you find yourself scoffing at the outlandishness of the plot. For that reason I would not recommend it.

I started this book thinking it would keep me riveted. And it did at first, but the more I went on, the more I started to dislike the characters (or the way they were written). Kept waiting for something to happen, and it's only at the/after the 25% mark that the inciting incident took place...and then it just got a bit too weird and convoluted for me. Feel this plot trope could have worked for a day or two, but the way it dragged just made it harder to suspend disbelief. Then the ending had this twist that seemed great on paper but how would that work in real life? Sadly, this book lost me with every page

This is not my normal book to read. But I am trying to venture outside my comfort zone. I enjoyed this book, even though it felt predictable, and I managed to guess the "twist". The ending seemed slower-paced than the first half of the book. No matter what I still enjoyed it, and I'll be looking forward to reading more books from this author.

Identical twin sisters with polar opposite personalities. A car crash where promises are made and life changes occur.
Can your sister's dying wish become a reality?
A great read, interesting characters but will you agree with the choices made?

I dont like.
Maybe the author was not for me, too boring.
The main girl make me roll my eyes for the whole thing. Im sorry but i just cant tell more.

A beautifully written, warm and touching story about family and love.
In a drastic turn of events, identical twins Leah and Eve find out how quickly things can change.
A heart warming, truly captivating story that takes you through a range of emotions, I thoroughly enjoyed this book,

I love Louise Guy books. I love the fact they're a bit far fetched. It was a bit predictable but it was a really enjoyed the story and the characters.

I received a copy of this book to review from Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity.
An interesting read with some good writing. The characters are well written and engaging.
However, the book is full of clichés making it predictable and dull to read at times.
On the whole a good book.

This was a spectacular book. I have only read one other of Louise Guy’s books but hacking loved both, I’ll now go and look at her back log. The characters were very well written and I had no idea what the outcome was going to be which I always really enjoy and I was satisfied with the ending. Highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I liked this story and love books with identical twins. It’s a little cliche having the reins be basically total opposites but I still thought the premise of the book was good and it was well executed.

This was an interesting and enjoyable read. I loved the well crafted plot and could not wait to see how it all ended. There is family drama, secrets, and moral decisions.
Many thanks to Amazon Publishing UK and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I love this premise - identical twins would could not be more different. This is definitely a slow start, but it picks up quickly. Love this author, and another great book!

This may potentially be my favourite read of 2020. Although this was a slow burner it was intriguing from the first chapter. I expected what happened to happen but I didn't know which way it would go (once you read it you'll understand what I mean). It's an easy to follow story with detailed scenes that allow you to connect with the characters, initially I was rooting for one and hating the other. I genuinely couldn't put this down, I would 100% recommend and will definitely look out for more of Louise Guy's work!
