Customer Reviews

A delightful book

This is the first book I have read from Katherine Stone but surely not the last. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and was sorry to have it end. Ms. Stone is a wonderful story-teller whose characters crawl into your heart. If you like Danielle Steel and Barbara Delinsky - you will love her.

Excellent Book

I have never read this author before, but picked up this book because the blurb on the back sounded interesting and I wasn't disappointed. If you like stories with characters you can really care about, a little twist at the end, and a very happy ending then you will really enjoy this book. Her style of writing was a little different than I am used to, but not unpleasantly so. I didn't want to put it down. It is also a pretty fast read.

You won't put this one down.

On one horrible night, Claire Forrester loses her beloved husband and gives birth. Thirty one years later, the child she had on that stormy night finds herself in a tangled mess of problems.Paige, that daughter, has concealed from her family that she has a deadly medical condition, one that requires her to have a transplant, as soon as possible. On top of that, she has fallen in love with an old friend and met a new friend, Gwen, who has a secret that will rock Paige's reality. Finally, Claire, her beloved mother, is also in a life threatening medical crisis.***** Ms. Stone's legion of fans will find nothing to be disappointed with in this novel. With a complex plotline and life like situation, this quickly read book will begin your new year with tears and joy. ***** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.

Wonderful

As on par with other Katherine Stone books this is a quick fast read. It made me want to see more of the lives of Paige and Gwen. There is such love and tenderness between two women who are sisters yet are still to find out. Friendship and love is the main issue of this book. There is as is typical in most Katherine Stone books the medical reference, but it is something that could be true. It makes one wish for real fairy tales.

exciting relationship romantic intrigue

Thirty-one years ago in the Bay area, Dr. Alan Forrester is deeply in love with hippie jeweler Claire MacKenzie who reciprocates his feelings. Though his elitist mother objects to this relationship and her Oregonian family does not care what happens to her, Alan marries Claire. Not long afterward, as her father-in-law drives the two generations of couples to a vacation lodge, a deer causes Gavin to swerve, but he misses the animal and stays on the road that is until the second fawn arrives. The subsequent crash leaves Claire as the only survivor giving birth at the site in the midst of chaos.Over three decades later, Claire's daughter Paige has become a successful oncologist. To hide a terrible facial birthmark, Gwen St. James becomes so adept that she is the make-up artist for TV news anchors. They meet over a cancer patient of Paige's when Gwen provides make-up to give confidence to the senior citizen as she goes home to see her grandchildren. As Paige and Gwen become better acquainted, secrets from that car crash that killed the doctor's father are revealed leading to close ties between two women who feel deeply connected, but not sure why.The why seems a stretch yet readers will allow Katherine Stone the lead way because THE OTHER TWIN is an exciting relationship romantic intrigue focusing on the connection between the two females. The story line grips the audience, as the reader wants to know more because the characters make the incident seem real. Though an overabundance of medical terminology is provided, fans will take much pleasure from Ms. Stone's engaging novel.Harriet Klausner
