They shared everything until they found something they couldn’t share and tore them apart. Stunning psychological thriller about twin sisters torn apart over the same guy. One sister ended up with him but the other sister given up or she do anything to get him back? I highly recommend this exciting read.

A good story. Although sometimes a little too predictable. It's written well and good stories but does not standout from the others in this popular genre x

I read this book in one setting and I’m glad I went in unknowing to the plot twists. If you can get past the farcical plot point of evil twin good twin. Then this thriller is one hell of a page turner. The jumping in time between chapters takes a little while to get used to but once you do this book is a great fun ride. As you try to work out what’s happened in the past to inform what the characters are doing now.

I got access to this book through netgalley as an E-ARC.

This was a mess, a big hot mess. *WARNING: this book includes rape, drug abuse, and prostitution.* So, where to begin. This story revolves around two twins who come together after years apart, and the main thing is that one twin wants the life of the other twin. Now my biggest issue were the characters, lets start with Susan, she is manipulative, obsessive, and unhinged, then we have Sarah, who has suffered a ton of shit and is just trying to cope, and last but not least Jonny, the man that comes between the two girls. To say Jonny was my least favorite character would be putting it lightly, this dude is 18 when he starts having sex with Susan( a 13 year old). Throughout the present ( as the story switches back and forth between present and past) he constantly belittles his wife's needs, forces her to do things she clearly doesn't want to do, and he is the most passive person I've ever read about who is constantly using his " I'm not taking sides, I'm a nice guy" act and I do not see the appeal of him. Seriously ladies, this dude is the most lukewarm person on earth, he barely supports his wife and her mental trauma and honestly I would have left him. I clearly don't understand how or why either Sarah or Susan would obsess over this man. He irritated me beyond belief, I just wanted Sarah and Susan to move on from this guy. And to top it off the very last minute twist on his character? Just confirms how much of a garbage dude he is. Seriously 19 years younger?! Gross. He is just GROSS. Now onto the plot between Susan and Sarah, the book switches narratives between the two and you are constantly thrown between both girls claiming to be one girl or the other and its kinda confusing but in the end it sorts itself out. Sarah was the real gem out of everyone in this book. She suffers horrific things but still tries her best to get her life together and do whats right. She literally saves Susan and she suffers so much for Susan. Honestly this book left me feeling, not good. The plot twists were fine and it wraps up fine, but honestly it is not a feel good book.
* Thanks netgalley for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*
