I really love Julie Cohen’s Little Black Dress books, and I was so excited when I learned she was writing a full-on, proper novel for Headline Review. Getting Away With It will be released on 28th October, and the cover has finally been released and I have to say, I love it! The book itself sounds really, really good and I can’t wait for it to be released! Here’s the synopsis:

Liza Haven couldn’t wait to escape the small village where she grew up with her perfect identical twin sister, Lee. Her life in LA as a stunt woman is reckless, fast and free - and that’s just the way she likes it. But when a near-fatal mistake drives her home, she finds Lee gone and everyone in the village mistaking her for her twin sister. Liza has to deal with her ailing mother, the family ice cream business, and Lee’s dangerously attractive boyfriend. Liza’s always been the bad twin, but as she struggles to keep up the masquerade and puzzle out where her sister has gone, she realises it’s not so simple. She’s spent her whole life getting away with it - is it finally time to face up to who she really is and where she really belongs?
