Ooh, I just love unreliable narrators and Renshaw just has done a wonderful job with keeping me on the edge of my seat! The amount of stress and second-guessing that I experienced was well worth it.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book.
Such a creepy read! I’ve always been fascinated by identical twins and their dynamic and this book did not disappoint
Thank you NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the eARC.
Unfortunately I found this book disturbingly creepy and therefore couldn't enjoy it.
The twins were definitely not likeable...to me one was as bad as the other and I felt sorry for Oliver/James, the disputed baby. The mental illness aspect was well described, although I thought anxiety/panic attacks/agoraphobia did not cause a person to harm others. The stints in the hospital were depressing; altogether not my kind of read. Sorry!
Overall this was a well written book but it did take me a while to get into the story line and it didn't really grab my attention.
It wasn't a page turner in my opinion and I found that by the end I wasn't bothered who the evil twin was.
Thank you to Netgalley and Inkubator Books for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Thanks NetGalley, InKubator Books and Jane Renshaw for a free copy to review. I did like the writing and the premises though it's an extremely odd and upsetting book. Who is truly the evil twin here? I did like how the book dealt with mental issues seriously and with respect, especially berating the nurse who was mistreating a mental patient. It described in accurate details the anxiety and panic attacks paralyzing Sarah preventing her from doing simple acts of living her life normally.
What I really disliked was the Rah - Bee and Veh-Bee pet names I cringed every time it came through which was too much in fact.
Wow talk about backstabbing families! This had great suspense and lots of secrets! One minute I was thinking Eve was the bad twin, then the next I was thinking Sarah was the bad twin. This is a good book. It kept my attention and the child aspect was def great with the plot as far as sisters fighting etc.
