About this ebook
Cassie is slender, clever, charismatic, successful. The one flaw in her perfect life may be her marriage. Her sister Lizbet is plumper, plainer, dreamier. An aspiring journalist, she's stuck writing embarrassing articles on sex for Ladz Mag. Her one achievement is her relationship with Tim, who thinks she's amusing and smart. Despite Cassie being the favored child, she and Lizbet have always been best friends. But then Lizbet gets pregnant.
Forced apart by mistakes not their own, enticed by new loves, and confronted by challenges they never asked for, Cassie and Lizbet struggle to rediscover the simple goodness of their sisterhood, even as their lives take them on a collision course of heartache and new beginnings.
A Tale of Two Sisters is Anna Maxted at her best—a highly entertaining yet deeply involving story of sisters who lose their way and need each other to find themselves again..

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book surprised me. While just as punchy as Maxted's other efforts in chick lit, this is as much a warm, heartfelt book about responsibility and growing up as it is a dry comedy. The story takes turns between the narratives of two sisters, Lizbet and Cassie, as they struggle through their relationships (Lizbet is single but committed, whereas Cassie is married but questioning her vows), their jobs (editor and lawyer, respectively), and their feelings for each other just as a surprise, followed by a tragedy, hit the family. Perhaps it sounds a bit cliche, but trust me when I say that this is Maxted's best book, rife with wit and cynicism, pushing her out of the chick lit pigeonhole.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am a fan of Anna Maxted, but this book was definitely not as good as her previous novels. It almost seems like she doesn't really want to write anymore.The story is about to sisters. One of them desperately wants a baby, and the other one, whose life was already perfect as it seemed, becomes pregnant. However, some lives just aren't as perfect as they seem.
