I really enjoyed The Wrong Sister, but Ezra is NOT my favorite MMC. He’s really awful for most of the book; I didn’t think his redemption arc was all that grand. I think I would’ve liked him more if the author had delved more into Ezra’s abusive father and had him work on himself a bit more. I loved Maeve and do think she’s a good balance for Ezra, but we don’t get to see that as much because the author focuses more on the conflict than the relationship. I was also hoping for more resolution with the various parents, but I suppose we still have Bea and Theo’s story! 

I did kind of enjoy that this seemed to be two books in one. It was really long, but it didn’t feel like it because, first, we have the deserted island part, and then we have the arranged marriage part. We definitely have a lot of character development and growth for Maeve because of the length, but not as much for Ezra. 

Overall, I’m glad I read The Wrong Sister, and I’m looking forward to the next book. 

I received an ARC of The Wrong Sister from Good Girls PR. I am leaving my review voluntarily.
