BOOKWORM REVIEW: You or Someone Like You by Winter Renshaw

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥

There is something to adore about a story where our main characters are more entwined than they thought..

Sloane Sheridan is a sucker when it comes to her twin sister Margaux. This time, she is pretending to be her sister on a date with the man who got her fired a few years ago..all because her sister's promotion is riding on it. Sure, she will tolerate Roman Bellisario for one evening, but when it turns out that they share a deep love for art, especially for the obscure artist known as Halcyon, Sloane's connection with Roman might not be as short-term as she thought.

I really liked this book. Sloane and Roman had instant but organic chemistry, and I adored that it started over art. Their relationship is certainly a whole lot more tangled than even they thought, but Winter Renshaw did a great job of untangling these complications and giving them an appropriate resolution.

Can I just say I stan a man who believes in fate?

I had wished there were more spicy moments in this read given the main characters' strong attraction, but I will take what I can get. 

I honestly felt that selfish twin Margaux got off easily, but I suppose she's family. 

This read is a standalone, and if it is your jam, it will go by quickly like it did for me. 

** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. Thank you to Winter Renshaw, Montlake, and NetGalley for providing an ARC. **

ABOUT THE BOOK

Being an identical twin has its perks, but when my sister asked me to sub in for a date with Roman Bellisario, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. Sure, he’s sinfully handsome and successful, but he also got me fired from my dream job three years ago.

This time, my sister’s promotion is riding on this date, so I have to say yes. And as it turns out, we’re strangely perfect for each other. I sell art. He collects it. We’re both obsessed with the same obscure, mysterious artist that most people don’t even know exists.

Roman is guarded, though, and I can understand why. He’s a widowed single dad. But as one date leads to another, he starts to let me in, and I can’t help but fall for him.

The problem is Roman still thinks I’m my sister. Is our twin swap going to be the best thing that ever happened to me and Roman—or the lie that tears us apart?
