Publisher's summary

Emmie Wilcox was only six when her sister, Roxy, was thrown out of their New York City apartment. Their stern father's military style left no room for rebellion, and Roxy was continually defiant and rebellious. Emmie is obedient, respectful. Two sisters, total opposites - yet Emmie is secretly obsessed with the mystery and imposed silence surrounding Roxy: What had she finally done to deserve being cast out of her home? Sometimes she fantasizes that she is more like Roxy than she appears. She wants excitement, and being a good girl all the time is harder than it seems. Finally learning that Roxy is a highly paid escort to wealthy and powerful men, Emmie goes behind her father's back to track down and spy on the sister she can't help but be fascinated with.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Amy Rubinate does an excellent job voicing Emmie's insecure, breathy whispers, her mother's French accent, and Roxy's confident tones. Listeners who enjoy family drama, transparent plots, and teenage angst will enjoy this book." ( Library Journal)

Not as good as her other books

Andrews, ghost writer or not, usually has no problem writing stories surrounding incest, rape or other abuses. There is nothing of such in this book which is boring compared to other works. The only likeable character is Roxy honestly.

great book!

Would you consider the audio edition of Forbidden Sister to be better than the print version?

yes.

Which scene was your favorite?

when her sister stepped in and took over after her mom died.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time I got in my car, the first thing I did was turn this on my radio and I would sit in the car 30 min after I got home to listen to it. I played it while at the gym and would have at work if I could have. I hated and was sad the day that it ended. I couldn't wait to get part two!

Not a fan of the narrator

The story was good. I think the narrator ruined it for me. I found myself cringing over and over.

lots of drama, loss, jealousy. pretty good

the only thing that bothered me was the writing. when the girl is along, she uses too many similes, metaphores... describes her emotions for way too long. we get it, she's sad.
