Being a twin I am always drawn to books that have twin characters to see how accurate they get the whole twin dynamic and I have to say there was no major flinching in this book. How the sisters are portrayed is pretty life-like. All the characters especially Beth and Alexa have strong independent personalities, Beth is more protective and assertive, while Beth is trying to make her own way in life and seems to be more of a do-gooder. But what both girls have in common is their shared secret past and maybe one of them would kill to keep it a secret.
The fact that there is a secret being hidden from the reader is no secret at all. We know something is being kept from us, we just don't have the whole picture. Throughout the book, you are given clues and flashbacks leading you still the grand reveal. I have to say that I surprisingly guest one of the main unknown plot points, and yet when it was revealed, I still felt the hairs on my back stand up, which NEVER happens to me.
There was so much in this book to keep me wanting and needing more. Curt's past, the sister's past, a secret journal, etc. There were some unneeded parts of the book but for the most part, it was very fast-paced. I was disappointed in some plot holes, especially a major one toward the end, but I am trying to chalk it up to a first-time author mistake. I would still recommend this book simply for its unique and alluring concept.
