One twin is the princess of the school, the popular one that everyone wants to friend. The other twin is invisible and unknown to everyone around her, yet used to make sure that her sister stays on top.
Arlo is from “old money” and is the catch that the family wants. A marriage between the two families solidifies what the will wanted accomplished. However, when he notices that things are not what they seem, he throws a massive wrench into the plan.
This book. This book seriously tore me apart. The emotions that you feel from every part of this book are crazy. I haven’t read a lot of bully romances, but I LOVE everything that Gemma writes so I went for it. As soon as I finished, I asked Gemma when the second part was coming out because its just that good. The complex relationship between Tallulah and Carrigan is heartbreaking and fascinating all in one swoop. Then Arlo comes into the mix and just throws a massive twist into it all. I honestly cannot say enough good about this book. Just warning, this book does end in a MASSIVE cliffhanger!
Having read previous books by Gemma, I Couldn’t wait to dive in.
Tally was a ghost, she hid from the world and was keeping secrets. Arlo spotted her and wanted to know who what and why.
I was hooked from the first page and then angry and then left hanging literally!!
This is such a good story that leads you into the world of the elite and “old Money” and what lengths people will go to for money.
Twisted, and heartbreaking but you know there is more to come and hopefully my questions will be answered…….
The Spare by Gemma Weir is a bully romance that is completely original and unique and was a one sitting read. I literally could not put this book down and this is only part one. I NEED part two now. Gemma Weir can spin a yarn to get the right vibes out there and tell the story that these characters want to be told. I am one of those readers that believe the characters tell the authors what to write and I bet Gemma Weir had her hands full with this book. I absolutely loved this version of the bully romance and was shocked when I found out who the bullies really were in the story. 5-leather studded stars for The Spare by Gemma Weir.
The rich are rich for a reason and all they want to do is get richer. How they obtain that money doesn’t matter and who the hurt in the process is nothing to lose sleep over. Old money versus new money and old traditions of arranging loveless marriages are still the practice among the wealthy and it only gets worse as time moves on not better. Once upon a time a man-made lot and lots of money. His son and then grandson did nothing but reap the benefits of the hard work the old man did. Now as the old man dies, he leaves a will and testament that will shock the family and the upper crust of society. In the pursuit of gaining more money a set of twins are put to the test. While one wants one of the gorgeous elites that has been put on the short list to marry her, he wants the twin that doesn’t care and can walk away from it all.
