I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

After their parents divorced, 10-year-old twins Ivy and Iris were split up--Ivy lived with Dad, Iris with Mom. Now, after a tragic accident takes their mom's life, the twins are reunited and Iris moves in with Ivy and their dad. Devastated over Mom's death, Iris spends the first few weeks in almost total silence--the only person she will speak to is Ivy. Iris feels her life is over and she doesn't know what to do. Emmy promises her twin that she can share her life now. After all, they're sisters. Twins.

It's a promise that Iris takes seriously. And before long, Ivy's friends, her life at school, and her boyfriend, Tyler, fall under Iris's spell. Slowly, Ivy realizes she's being pushed out of her own life. But she's just being paranoid, right? And Mom's accident was . . . just an accident. Right? It's not like she--or Dad--or Tyler--are in any danger. . . .

Short and Sweet Review

Ivy and Iris were split up after their parents divorced, Ivy lived with dad, and Iris lived with mom. When Their mom dies Iris goes to live with Ivy and her dad. Everything seems fine until it Ivy feels like Iris is trying to do everything she does and Iris may not have the best intentions. I am very conflicted, I was excited to read this book because of the synopsis but after reading the book my expectations just weren’t met. Ivy just seems like she’s paranoid when it comes to Iris and no one seems to think there’s anything wrong with Iris. I also thought Iris was extremely annoying everything would set her off, her mood swings were too much for me I didn’t enjoy her character at all. There was a lot wrong with Iris, I understand that everyone grieves differently but every time Ivy would bring up their mom Iris would shut down… She’s crazy. The whole time we’re left wondering if Iris really is trying to take Ivy’s place and why. There’s some weird things that happen. I thought this book was slow and I really had to push through to finish it but during the last 75% it started to pick up. I didn’t connect with any of the characters I felt like Ivy was one dimensional and that Iris’s dialogue was cringey. The Twin just fell short and I think it could have been better if the ending wasn’t rushed and left open ended.
