I was intrigued by the premise of the story. I enjoy reading stories about twins and this pair had quite the thrilling mystery surrounding them. Unfortunately the story failed to deliver. It helps to have at least one of your characters be likeable but that was not really the case. Alexa and Beth and even Curt all grated on me. I was also thrown out of the story every time the author put in a mention about masks or hand sanitizer or some other reference to the pandemic. It was not needed to move the plot along.

Despite those problems though, I did care enough to finish reading this book and see if I was right. I had to suspend my disbelief at times but even that wasn't enough for the Curt angle that was thrown in at the end and was completely ridiculous. That could have been left out. I have read other books about people with Alexa's diagnosis that I liked better but this was okay for a debut novel.
