When it comes to genes, life’s a lottery. As Abi would the first to know. She has spent her life in the shadow of her stunningly beautiful, glamorous older sister Cleo. Headhunted as model when she was sixteen, Cleo has been all but lost to Abi for the last twenty years, with only a fleeting visit or brief email to connect them. So when Abi is invited to spend the summer in Cleo's large London home with her sister's perfect family, she can't bring herself to say no. Despite serious misgivings. Maybe Cleo is finally as keen as Abi to regain the closeness they shared in their youth? But Abi is in for a shock. Soon she is left caring for her two young, bored and very spoilt nieces and handsome, unhappy brother-in-law - while Cleo plainly has other things on her mind. As Abi moves into her sister's life, a cuckoo in the nest, she wrestles with uncomfortable feelings. Could having beauty, wealth and fame lead to more unhappiness than not having them? Who in the family really is the ugly sister?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and True to Life

A well-written and engrossing story. As an "ugly sister" myself I was afraid that this would turn out to be just another silly story where the ugly duckling turns out to be a swan. But Jane Fallon wrote a wonderful story about families and real life.

I won't spoil it for you, but highly recommend this book.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the other books I've read by Jane Fallon, however, it was still a good read. I like how this author's stories show a woman's growth despite the very recognizable self doubts and downright embarrassing and familiar faux pas the character makes along the path of moving forward.

At first, I thought this was lightweight reading but as I read more, there were many relatable passages about the dynamics of family life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but a bit troubling
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020

Jane Fallon is one of my new favorite authors. I discovered her because I have a bit of a crush on her husband, Ricky Gervais. After watching his After Life Netflix show, I checked out if he was married. I'm glad I did, because even though Ms. Fallon's books are not perfect, they're fun. This is the second book of hers I've read, and what I love most is that I never know what's going to happen. The plot is so unpredictable, you can never guess the end. I can't wait to read all her books.

The only issue I had with this book was that I didn't quite buy how shallow the pretty sister (Cleo) was. I have a similar experience with a gorgeous sister, and it was a bit painful to read about their hurtful/masochistic relationship. Ms. Fallon does a decent job of showing that none of the sisters are perfect, and that Abi's envy of her beautiful sisters causes her to overreact at times. Still, in the end Abi is portrayed as the "goody two shoes" and Cleo as the callous and cold one. This caused me to detract a star and give it only 4 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars entertaining but a disappointing ending
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2022

I expected a lighthearted book, which this predominantly was. However, once the main character has a pretty immoral crush the reader is left wondering how she can come out of this well at the end. The answer is the end is just cut off. I thought that I had at least two more chapters to read but there is no ending.
The most endearing characters are the children as they grow as people and cast off their spoilt demeanour. I’m afraid I wouldn’t particularly recommend this to a friend.

The Ugly Sister is a pleasant, entertaining read that falls loosely into the rom-com category. The story was well written and flowed smoothly.

Un livre léger, une lecture simple et sympa quand on ne veut pas trop se prendre la tête. Sans spoiler, j'ai aimé la fin ouverte, qui ne donne pas dans le gnangnan habituel des contes de fée comme si le lecteur avait 8 ans ...

I have now read all.of Jane Fallons books. I do enjoy them but they are quite similar.
This particular one was slow to start, I
almost wanted to put the book to one side and not finish it. However, I persevered and about half way through, started to enjoy it. I got to the end this morning and was expecting a very happy ending, but very disappointed that it just stopped quite abruptly, which I was not expecting.
