as a (boy-girl) twin myself, reading this book was a trip. it would’ve been insane w/o that added factor, but i found i was able to relate to dominick at many points (although on a lesser scale than his emotions and feelings) in regards to being a twin, having your own identity, and complicated relationships - competing w each other, etc. i couldn’t stop reading this book - definitely going to be one of my favorites of this year.
