The middle of the book had some potential but so many irrelevant pieces that went no where made me give a 2 and the ending was lackluster :((((

I read this in one sitting and the first 2/3rds were really interesting but the last 1/3 kind of fell apart for me. It’s like the author hit fast forward and we zoomed through the climax.

Also the weird “twin language” where they would just speak words with the letters mixed up? I could not take it seriously.

This book was interestingly descriptive in ways I didn’t need it to be. Since I read an arc, and it is subject to change, I will not quote it directly. However, I will say that the beginning was a turn off from me, and I did struggle with that. This did slightly change as the book went one, but almost to the point it felt like different writing.

I love a good thriller, and mainly stick to thrillers and the occasionally horror. Psychological thrillers are my favorite, so I thought that this would be a fantastic read. That wasn’t the case. I found the pacing to be incredibly slow. Nothing really happens, and nothing is really thrilling. I guess at this point I expect more from thrillers after having read so many. This read to me more like a literary fiction, and I think that had it been labeled as such I would have enjoyed it more.

I did enjoy the past and present chapters, yet Kat’s “now” chapters felt a little off, not sure if that was intentional, while Jude’s chapters were where the story happened. I never did connect with the characters in a meaningful way, so I really didn’t care what happened to them. As a reader I need to find something to connect with in order to enjoy the book, it doesn’t have to be big, but it needs to be there, and this book didn’t do it for me.

I think that this book would have been better as a shorter succinct novella with a lot of the middle left out. I also feel that this might have helped the pacing. While it wouldn’t have fixed all the issues I had with this book, it would have at least made it slightly more enjoyable.

I do love the cover and that is what drew me into this book.

While this one was a miss for me, I do appreciate the publisher for sharing an e-arc copy with me.

Home girl needs some Zoloft and therapy. And don’t get me started on her sister. There’s a lot to unpack with this one and just…I don’t even know what’s going on..There’s both too much and not enough all at once.

This was a wild ride but I feel like there were some things that didn’t come to a satisfying end or were left unanswered

This would make an interesting tv mini series.
The whole book- one sister trying to create an illusion for the other and lie to her, was the premise to the book but didn’t sit well with me.
Some inconsistencies regarding the role switching between the twins. A point is made about a scar Kat now has, and yet they do the switch without detection.
