Okay here’s another reader looking for a book title. It, too looks right up our alley, but I don’t know what it is.
Lise asks:
Ok you are my last resort. I swear I’ve read a book synopsis about twin sisters. One sister dies and surviving twin develops a relationship with the dead sister’s boyfriend. I’ve been combing through B&N, Good Reads, etc. I can’t seem to find it. I’m hoping you know what book I’m talking about…it’s driving me crazy!!
Right??!!! I wanna read this. Kind of taboo with the whole “twin” thing (when it comes to their significant others), so this one has me curious.
Anyone…?
UPDATE:Β Lisa just got back to us and confirmed the book she was looking for IS on the list!! She said:

The only book I can think of would be Rule…but it was twin brothers and one died, not sisters.
There’s one where the girl becomes engaged and he dies and she ends up with his brother- one of them is called Luke- I think! But I can’t remember it’s name, sorry.
saletti blood vana vargas
I remember reading a synopsis also but I can’t remember what book itnwas
There was one free not too long ago believe it was called Double Trouble but it was deceased sister’s husband ad possibly children also.
Sounds like THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE by Jandy Nelson
from goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life – and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey’s boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie’s own. Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they’re the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can’t collide without the whole wide world exploding.
This remarkable debut is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Francesca Lia Block. Just as much a celebration of love as it is a portrait of loss, Lennie’s struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often hilarious, and ultimately unforgettable.
Awesome suggestions!!! Thanks you guys. If you think of any more, keep ’em coming. π
I’ve read The Sky Is Everywhere and her question sounds just like that book.
This sounds a little bit like Think Twice by Lisa Scottoline. The one twin tries to take over the other twins life
sounds to me like regina’s song by david and leigh eddings – not exactly a romance novel…
Sabina Kane series by Jaye Wells?
Can’t remember the name of the book but it sounds like one I read by Kimberly Reeves
could it be Saving June by Hannah Harrington ?
Forever Black by Sandi Lynn
The Sky is Everywhere is not about twins but it’s very good! Made me cry!
Not to change the subject on anyone, but the Saletti Blood series by Vana Vargas looks like a pretty good Mafia type romance. Hmmmm….
Hrmmmmm is right, LucyLou. I noticed that, too…
Reminds me a little bit of A Beautiful Lie by Tara Sivec, but it was a girl who fell in love with her fiancΓ©es best friend after he died.
Hmmmm…. Sempre. π
What about The Wrong Sister by Kris Pearson?
Twice Kissed by Lisa Jackson?
Audrey Niffenegger wrote “Her Fearful Symmetry,” which is a SUPER creepy book about twins dying, getting involved with significant others, hauntings, possessions.. Some what awkward at times. Just saying.
Fallen too far
Hmmm, maybe THE LYING GAMES by Sara Shepard?? It was twin sisters separated at birth (didn’t know they were sisters) and one sister was murdered. The other twin saw a youtube video of her and contacted her to meet for the first time. Except it was the killer who responded and not the sister. The sister goes and ends up living the life of the other sister who died, pretending to be her (per the killers orders). She ends up hanging with the same friends, boyfriend, and family (because noone knows she is dead and that the twin is living her life). The alive sister tries hard to live her sisters life while trying to find the killer. She ends up finding her own love interest that she has to keep secret to hold up appearances of her popular but now dead, twin sister.
Thank you! It was The Sky Is Everywhere!! Thanks for ending my search!!
How about Worth Taking the risk by Kate Bennie?
There is a relatively new one out calling Topping from Below that I think might be what you are looking for. . .I haven’t read it yet but I remember reading the back and that’s what it was about. Hope so!
lol. I jsut finished reading the posts- guess not. hehe
It forever black by Sadie Lynn
I think the book you’re looking for is called twin terror, by Janice harell π
I think it is The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver
Twin sister book. One is good one is bad, they can feel each otherβs pain and emotions. One has a shady bf, and I think the bad one tries to hurt the other by crashing a car? Very vague but I swear I thought it was called βthe other sisterβ. YA book.
A book where two girls lived with their grandpa and lived off of cake until he died. They ended up in a mental hospital, this girls sister drowned her cat, and her sister set a barn on fire, turns out she doesnβt have a sister and she just has an illness where she thinks she does. Please help

There a book called We’ll never be apart by Emiko Jean
Hi so basically I ready this book about these two sisters. One of them was alive and one was ‘supposed dead’ right? And so the sister who was alive wanted to get her fathers inheritance but in her father’s will he said he would only give it if both sisters were there. So then she goes to this restaurant and finds a girl who looks like her sister and tells her to act like her sister. Then it tuns out it actually is her sister and at the end her sister steals all the money a runs away. PLEASE tell me the name of this book! tyy
