I am new to NetGalley so this is the first book that I’ve read by this author. 
The prologue immediately took my interest,I loved the storyline
A devious plot, well written
The mental health issues were presented well 
Through out you are left wondering who is mad, who is bad or are they both mad and bad. I liked the way that the reveal was handled at the end. 
Thanks  for allowing Me to read this book

This was a quick read and well written, though I found it rather sad.

The book did succeed in sucking me in to Sarah's viewpoint and making me want her to succeed, even as it became clear that she was capable of some pretty terrible things. The slow reveal of just what she could do, and had done, was handled well. Yet in some ways Evie was no better. So while the ending was probably the best outcome there could have been, I didn't get a great deal of satisfaction out of it.

One thing I found really jarring was the baby talk (Rah-Bee, Vee-Bee, Mummin). It set my teeth on edge every time and distracted me from the story.

Still, a well-handled (albeit depressing) plot and I would read another book by this author.

The first book that I’ve read by this author. 
The prologue immediately piqued my interest. It is a fast paced engrossing read. I really enjoyed it. 
Poignantly told so that I really engaged with Sarah. 
A Clever devious plot, quite disturbing. 
The mental health issues were well depicted and the over dependent twin relationship portrayed well.

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.

#TheChildWhoNeverWas #NetGalley
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.
