3.0

An interesting short read about twins Judith and Cassandra and how their relationship changes with the specter of Judith’s upcoming wedding. I generally like books with unlikeable female characters but I found Cassandra hard to sympathize with and just too melodramatic. I think the complexities of being a twin while trying to find your independence were captured well. The narrative voices of Judith and Cassandra were very distinct and I’m glad we got to hear both sides.
