This was not my favourite. It didn't twist like I hoped it would.

It was okay most of the book, but I absolutely hate the ending. It’s dumb and full of holes, and only exists so that the book can have a twist - it brings nothing to the story.

It was a good story line, but the ending could have been so much more. I've read around 4 of Lucinda Berry's books so far and this one is my least favorite so far. It was a super quick read, though!

1.5 The premise, positive reviews, and the number of reviews mentioning a wild twisted ending were intriguing, but I respectfully disagree. The plot felt forced and the setting stereotypical. Details about mental health, treatments, and professional boundaries were were inaccurate and elaborated. The characters were defined solely by their diagnoses or trauma, and had no other redeeming qualities. The ending was ‘meh’. Since I pushed through the book to get to it, I wish the author expanded a little more on that twist.

**this book has many trigger warnings such as SA, self-harm, abuse, mental illness. As well as others**
It's so twisted but I somehow loved it! Loved the twin connection (maybe because I'm a twin). The story is phenomenal. The twist at the end got me. I have one question, though... WTH?

I can’t believe everything I guessed was wrong but this was a crazy ride.

A quick read on dissociation. Makes me wonder what happened in those parts of my childhood that I cannot remember...
