Solid book, enjoyed this but also found it to drag a little and found myself picking up and putting down lots so took me a while to get through, pulled a late night to finish off on Sunday.
Its an interesting take on two identical twins taking very different paths. One living as a struggling black woman and one as a rich white woman. This not only follows their lives but how there decisions effect the lives of their own daughters.
It was hard going in parts and definitely not a fluff piece but I think worth the time investment.
