Mr Almost Right by Eleanor Moran

The excerpts present a narrative centered on Lulu, a costume designer who must navigate a series of professional and personal crises while managing an intense twin bond with her sister, Alice. Professionally, Lulu assumes responsibility for a film project, dealing with the demanding director Tarquin and a catastrophic loss when her mentor, Zelda, dies of illness. Romantically, Lulu enters into a secret and consuming affair with the married lead actor, Charles, even as her sister unknowingly befriends Charles’s wife. She simultaneously develops an interest in Ali, a compassionate police officer she initially misled while driving her sister’s rental van. Ultimately, Lulu chooses to end the complicated affair and establishes her independent identity outside the twin dynamic, finding a genuine connection with Ali.
