On My Wishlist is a weekly event highlighting a book that I really want to read. The book may be 20 years old, or the pub date may not be until next year, but either way I'm excited about it, and hopefully you will be too!

Synopsis from Goodreads
Twenty-nine-year-old Lindsey Rose
has, for as long as she can remember, lived in the shadow of her ravishingly
beautiful fraternal twin sister, Alex. Determined to get noticed, Lindsey is
finally on the cusp of being named VP creative director of an elite New York
advertising agency, after years of eighty-plus-hour weeks, migraines, and
profound loneliness. But during the course of one devastating night, Lindsey’s
carefully constructed life implodes. Humiliated, she flees the glitter of
Manhattan and retreats to the time warp of her parents Maryland home. As her
sister plans her lavish wedding to her Prince Charming, Lindsey struggles to
maintain her identity as the smart, responsible twin while she furtively tries
to piece her career back together. But things get more complicated when a
long-held family secret is unleashed that forces both sisters to reconsider who
they are and who they are meant to be.
So, what do you think? Is it one that you'd like to add to your wish list? Have you already read it?
