'A cracking read that will chill you to the bone' Sun

'Thoroughly gripping'
Guardian

Mia and Michelle couldn't look more alike - or act more differently.


Mia's always been the glamorous one, the one everyone wants to get close to. And now she's a model, on the edge of fame. But Mia can't resist the illegal thrills that come with it.

When disaster strikes, Mia's mousy look-alike sister has to pretend to be her. Michelle saves her career, and turns out to have star quality too. She's even got someone to fall in love with her - a man Mia wants almost as much as she wants to be a supermodel. That's something Mia will never, ever forgive . . .

    This was a really good read. I’ve read and liked lots of books from this author but this is the best one yet I haven’t read a book so quick in a while but this one had me gripped!
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2009
    Just finished this last MH book and was a lot happier than the last time I read one. MH is a fantastic writer but her last book felt a bit rushed. I'm pleased to say that this one didnt.
    Mia and Michelle are twins and are the polar opposite of one another. Mia is desperate for fame as a model and will do anything or use anyone to get it. Michelle is the quiet one whos only ambition is to be a Social Worker. Mia then gets involved with the wrong type of people and meets a man who is going to turn hers and Michelles life upside down. Michelle has to put herself in the firing line to save her sister but risk losing what is important to her. This book was a fantastic read. The story was well written, the characters loveable and awful in equal measures. Found myself turning page after page with speed for the build up and grand finale. I wasn't dissapointed.

    A fast paced storyline that kept me entertained. A little far fetched at times and brutal but not so much to put me off.
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2016
    I've given this the full 5 stars as it's a superbly written story that I just could not put down. From beginning to end there was not a boring part to this book.
    After reading quite a few of mandasue 's books this is my favourite so far.
    I think there's just 2 books of Martina cole that I haven't read but I will definitely not be reading them after this as hers are all the same, same words, same stories, same sorts of characters.
    I can't say the same about mandasue heller's. Always a very different read! You won't be disappointed to read this, I'm still smiling as I write this 😊

    5.0 out of 5 stars Two Faced
    Reviewed in Spain on 26 January 2020
    Kim thought she would die from shame and the pain of it all. Twins born in the supermarket with all the shoppers gawking. How her life changed with these two identical daughters to raise on her own. Read "Two Faced" to find about their different personalties and desires developed. One wants to be a model. The other wants to be a social worker. And how their lives crossed. Another great book from Mandasue Heller. Highly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another great story
    Reviewed in the United States on 17 July 2014
    I actually realised I had read this a while back,but I continued reading it as it is such a good book by Mandasue, I think I have nearly read all her books.
    They are the type of book that you want to read in one go. I haven't yet found a book I didn't like by her.

    5.0 out of 5 stars a very good read
    Reviewed in the United States on 10 March 2013
    I'm really liking Mandasue Heller's books. This was my third. I loved it. Having read almost all martina Cole's books, am happy to have found this one. Two-faced is very well written and the story is very good. I already read 'Snatched', which also was very goood. Now I'm half way with 'The Front'......which is another page turner.

    I review books on their readability, and this one gets 5 stars for that. It won’t win any awards, but it’s captivating and a page turner.
