Maggie and Rose Feller, are sisters two years apart, and they couldn't be more different. Rose, the older of the two, is an established lawyer at a prominent Philadelphia firm. She is responsible, intelligent, homely, and successful--and she has a secret penchant for romance novels. Maggie, her younger sister, is her complete opposite: beautiful, outgoing, carefree, learning disabled, and irresponsible. Maggie can't keep a job or an apartment for longer than a month, and she dreams of becoming a famous actress. In fact, the only things the sisters have in common are a familial loss, a shoe size, and a dislike for their frigid stepmother, who's way too into plastic surgery.
I can't wait to see the movie that is coming out in October based on this book to see how closely it follows the book.
