The Devil You Know by Louise Bagshawe
4.0
I originally read this book in my teens and having had a sort through my books, I decided to read it again.
The book follows the lives of Italian-born triplets who were separated at birth by their jealous cousin once removed who murdered their parents.
Poppy, Rose and Daisy are all adopted by loving families but all have a very different home life. Rebellious Poppy is brought up in LA by her rich lawyer parents and is spoilt by their money and connections. Rose lives in New York with her deli-owner parents who are struggling to keep their house and livelihood from bullying real estate firm - Rothstein. Daisy was brought up in England and attends an all girls boarding school and struggles with both her weight and her confidence.
All three girls have their setbacks; Poppy's parents dislike of her music and lifestyle choices, Rose's parents financial struggles and Daisy's belief in her abilities, however all three go on to flourish in their careers and each of them become independent business women despite the people who want to see them fail.
I really enjoy this book and is the only Louise Bagshawe novel I've read. It's an easy read that's hard to put down and despite it being very different from my usual reads, I love it just as much.
