The Secret Lives of the Amir Sisters by Nadiya HussainMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Quite obviously, Hussain didn't write the actual words of this book. It's far too competently written for that. It's clearly the work of an experienced writer (the inside pages notes "with Ayisha Malik").
But, that said, I do accept she came up with the characters and the plot. Hussain isn't the type to put her name to something without having any creative involvement. Plus, kudos to her for being open about having a ghostwriter (not all celeb authors are so honest).
Regardless of who did exactly what, together, Hussain and Malik have come up with an endearing tale about siblings - about however much they annoy you at times, you will always be part of each other's lives. They have also added sufficient drama so that the book isn't overly sentimental.
