Envy, regret, and all the other "what ifs" come together in this gripping novel of women's fiction, great for your next beach read.

Do we ever really know the ones we love? Or do the secrets between us get in the way?

Reclusive Clare Collins crafts her novels like she crafts her life: perfectly. So the world is stunned when the famous author is found dead on a beach from a self-inflicted gunshot—the morning after her latest book hits the shelves.

Her sister, Eileen, is at a loss. Clare led a charmed life: success, mansions, money... Why would she throw it all away?

Because Clare was a sister with a secret. While reading through her Clare's latest—and greatest—novel, Eileen discovers a clue that unravels the fiction of their perfect family and reveals the painful truth.

Suddenly, Clare's enviable life doesn't seem so sparkling, and Eileen must confront the shadows of the past that have hung over them both.

Her Perfect Life is a page-turning debut that reminds us that no matter the success, everyone has secrets. And some are more devastating than others.

      Eileen has three kids, a messy house, a husband who doesn't help with housework, and a photography business that is scraping by. Her sister Clare is a famous author whose novels have been made into blockbuster movies. Eileen has always been jealous of her sister's life as a celebrity with a fantastic house and a doting literary agent husband, Simon. So when Clare kills herself the day after her new book is released, Eileen heads to California to help Simon sort through the pieces that Clare left behind. In San Francisco, Eileen thinks back and assesses Clare's childhood, from her all-consuming love for her high school sweetheart, whose life ended tragically, to her hardscrabble fight up the ladder to get her writing seen and acknowledged. Eileen realizes that perhaps Clare, too, wanted things she could never have. Perhaps Eileen has parts of her life to envy as well. And Clare's just-released novel may hold some clues as to why she ended her life. VERDICT Everyone's life has some secrets, even the life you think is perfectly charmed. YA author Taylor's first work of adult fiction will command readers' attention and hearts with this engrossing tale of two very different sisters.--Beth Gibbs, Davidson, NC
