Book Review: The Perfect Sister | Stephanie DeCarolis
A woman searches for her missing sister in the Hamptons, where beautiful beaches and sprawling mansions hide the secrets lurking beneath the surface. The Perfect Sister is quite frankly a perfect vacation read.
What is The Perfect Sister about?
Alex Walker has always looked up to her perfect older sister. Maddie has succeeded in all the ways Alex has not: she escaped their hometown and seems to have put the memories of their unstable childhood behind her. But despite the different paths their lives have taken, the two sisters made a pact to spend one week together every summer. It was a promise they’d never broken. . . Until now.
When Maddie suddenly cancels her annual trip home, Alex begins to worry. But when she stops returning her calls altogether, Alex is certain something is wrong. Relying on the only clues Maddie left behind, Alex follows her sister’s footsteps to the Hamptons, where she meets the Blackwell family—the last people to have seen Maddie alive before she vanished into thin air. The Blackwells seem to have it all: wealth, beauty, and a beach-side mansion on a private stretch of Hamptons real estate. It’s a world unlike any Alex has ever known, but she quickly discovers that looks can be deceiving, and a life of luxury always comes at a cost.
What did I think?
I felt like I was at summer in the Hamptons, with the beautiful coastline and vivid settings. Especially that beach house—I could picture myself there. Thankfully my own sister is not missing, though! The beachy vibes served up a perfect vacation read with the right amount of mystery and drama.
Alex and Maddie Walker could almost be twins—sisters separated by only one year. Alex reflects on their relationship a lot. The sisters used to spend all of their time together, but over the years Alex could feel Maddie drifting away from her. Never the less, each summer, the sisters spend one week together (at least). Until this year, when Maddie cancels their trip unexpectedly. Unable to reach Maddie, Alex arrives in the Hamptons to find what happened to her sister.
The main setting of the book is the stunning and sprawling mansion owned by the Blackwells. The Hamptons home is the last place Maddie was allegedly staying before she cut contact with Alex. Everyone Alex speaks with assures her that Maddie left, but Alex keeps finding small signs that suggest that might not be the full story.
I liked the use of multiple perspectives in this book. We hear from both Alex and Maddie, as well as some of the other characters. I was completely puzzled through the whole first part about what was going on. I couldn’t tell if I missed something about why Maddie was staying with the Blackwells, but it just took a bit of time for that story to unfold.
The book has a grand reveal, as it should. I definitely didn’t guess what was really going on, so I enjoyed the twist! The sisters could have had a bit more depth of character development for my tastes. It read well as a beach-y read, but I wanted to understand them more. This is a consequence of books told from multiple perspectives though! Maddie and Alex themselves have very distinct personalities.
A beachy mystery that delivered a compelling story without too much heaviness and a nice dose of soapy drama.

How My Marriage Was Restored by Excellentspellcaster@gmail.com
Please everyone should be careful and stop being fooled by all those spell caster. I was scammed by a fake spell caster online last month. I lost about $895 to them . It was really hard for me because that was all my life savings. I found it very hard to move on, until I came across series of testimonies about Dr Excellent, so I contacted him and explained my problem to Dr Excellent and he told me what went wrong with my husband and how it happen, that he will restored my marriage back, and to my greatest surprise my Ex husband came back to me after casting the love spell, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day our marriage is now stronger than how it was before, Dr Excellent is a real spell caster) I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their lover back, you can as well hire him today. Hurry up and contact him and explain your situation to him he will help you. Here his contact. Call/WhatsApp him at: +2348084273514 “Or email him at: Excellentspellcaster@gmail.com

I had a happy relationship with my girlfriend for several years, but I began to worry that she might be cheating on me. This doubt affected my peace of mind.
I decided to hire a private investigation firm and found Crypto Pandemic Hunter was highly recommended for their professionalism. They listened to my concerns and assured me they would help me find the truth.
They gathered information about my girlfriend’s routine and social life. Evidence revealed she was exchanging intimate messages and meeting her colleague outside of work.
Though heartbroken, I was grateful for their help and would recommend Crypto Pandemic Hunter to anyone with similar suspicions.

MY HERPES STORY AND HOW I WAS CURED
For years, I struggled with the emotional and physical burden of the herpes virus, believing I would have to live with it forever. I tried countless treatments, medications, and therapies, but nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. It felt like a battle with no end in sight until I discovered a natural remedy that changed everything (herbs). Skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try, and to my surprise, I started noticing improvements in my overall well-being within two days of taking the medication. With consistency as prescribed by the herbal doctor, I felt healthier, more energized, and free from the symptoms that had once controlled my life. After completing the treatment, (14days) I visited my doctor for confirmation, and I was overjoyed with the results. I tested negative. I was cured from my HSV1&2
This experience has given me back my confidence, peace of mind, and a renewed sense of hope. If you or someone you know is struggling with herpes or other health concerns like HPV, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, PCOS, or hepatitis, know that there are alternative options available and you will be cured. For those seeking a natural approach to wellness, I encourage you to explore this path with an open mind. You never know how life-changing it might be. Just if you want to reach out, you can contact:
