MY REVIEW

The title fits this story perfectly. It is a tangled mess between two sisters who seem to always compete against  each other. One thing that stuck out to me is that both Crystal and Roxie want to find that special someone to love  them. What happens when they both fall for the same person? 

We get a glimpse of the  background on the sisters which helps readers to see their struggles and need to be accepted. I liked watching  the two sisters strengthen their bond while fighting their emotions for each other. With one of the  sisters struggling through life with paralysis perhaps  the other sister felt left out at times. Their family is a mixture of adoption, rejection and trying  to forgive someone who left them years ago. 

I liked the story but at times I thought it moved a little slow in certain transitions in the book. In the end I  found  myself  yearning for more about the sisters and less about who gets the boy at the  end. The author does write a good story but just missed the mark for me being fully invested in it. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
