To answer your question, I don't know. I suppose one can only know when they experience such heartbreak, which is why I am intrigued by Miranda's story. Although it is fictional (I hope), I root for her getting everything she needs, especially love. Thanks for the recommendation.

This book will be lovely to read. I can begin to imagine how these sisters will face each other. Who will sacrifice for the other? And what will life after this whole drama look like?I can't wait to grab a copy already. Congratulations on BOTD.

I am not inclined to Romance books as a rule, because they all seem so ordinary to me, its always about who loves who, someone suffering in love triangle, other doesn't like affection between lovers and tries to separate them. But this one has this quite promising twin thing going, so maybe it will be somewhat interesting even for people like me.

An entertaining love triangle story in the book "Beyond Despair" by Shirley Hoisington, which is about two sisters and their boy friend. Nice entertainer book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Miranda and Cindy's story sounds thrilling. I can not let go of the person I truly love unless otherwise. I can not wait to read and explore Beyond Despair by Shirley Hoisington. Congratulations on the BOTD.

Good review. One twin giving up happiness so her sister can be happy. Don't think it will end well.

Great review! I sampled the novel and it looked very interesting owing to the plot and descriptive scenes. I definitely wouldn' t like to be in Miranda' s shoes!

It seems to be a good choice of book for romantic twist type of novel readers
Though Miranda’s sacrifice, well although it was noble, I think I was foolish

This is an interesting plot, I can’t say I’d react the same way as Miranda- a better woman than I! This is not my preference of genres and the mention of grammatical errors makes me hesitant to sample this book.

Hmmmm. Loving someone who doesn't want you is very hard. It's good that Roger asked for Miranda's consent before dating Cindy, it could have been an entirely different story. I hope Miranda finds love too. I love the review and the book itself. Congratulations on BOTD

Miranda as the strong twin sacrificed her love so her twin sister will be happy. It's heartbreaking and I hope she finds happiness at the end.

I enjoyed the storyline, it seems so lively and entertaining. Loving someone that doesn't love you back can be destructive.
