ABOUT THE BOOK
Twin sisters Waverly and Charlie Talbot have drifted far apart as they pursue opposite dreams of stardom and service to the poor. On an astonishing journey across Central Europe, they must come together to face their fears, find their courage and fight for what they love.
Celebrity chef Waverly Ross has built a successful career with her home-entertaining show Simply Perfect. Yet she and her husband, Andrew, have never been able to realize the true desire of Waverly’s heart: to become a mother. Meanwhile Waverly’s twin sister, Charlie Talbot, buries her bitter disappointment and shattered idealism beneath a life spent serving others as an international aid worked in Budapest, Hungary.
When the beloved aunt who raised them passes away, Waverly and Charlie come together in their grief after living years on separate continents. Struck by a fierce desire to bridge the distance between them, Charlie offers Waverly and her husband the selfless gift of surrogacy.
But soon the sisters find they are each in danger of losing their jobs, seemingly putting their dreams on hold once again. When Waverly shows up unannounced in Budapest with a plan to rescue Simply Perfect, the sisters embark on an adventure across Central Europe that could save them both from occupational hazards. Though the twins haven’t had to rely on each other since childhood, an unforeseen dangerous turn in their journey across Europe forces them to stand together to save their careers, the baby, and each other.

MY REVIEW
At the heart of Becoming the Talbot Sisters are Waverly Ross and Charlie Talbot, twins who have grown apart through years of living very different lives—but the death of their beloved aunt brings them together again and sets them on an unexpected path toward healing and reconciliation. As the two sisters begin to work through the heartbreak of past hurts and unfulfilled dreams, they soon discover emotion, adventure, and danger aplenty.
Taking readers on quite the international trip, Rachel Linden delivers a heartfelt story of the bond of sisterhood, while also going a step beyond family drama to grapple with a number of grittier topics. It proves engaging in both plot and setting, filled with immersive description and emotion, making Becoming the Talbot Sisters a pleasure to read.
