I loved the different perspectives of Josie and Alix throughout the book as well as the excerpts from "Hi! I'm your birthday twin!".  So many questions and mysteries which kept me reading. I found the struggles of Alix and Josie's lives to feel relatable in the right ways.
Even though early on you know something is going to happen to Nathan not knowing exactly what or how kept me reading. The ending with Josie saying the Brook was killed by Roxie was confusing and the best ending to a book where you don't know if you can trust anything that Josie says. It felt real enough to be true, but also so much like a lie that Josie would say to herself to feel better about being a murderer.
