There was a lot I liked about this book, like the writing and the tension in the plot. However, I sort of felt like I was missing out on something because I wasn't a twin (there are so many in the book, LOL). I had never really thought about twins in this way before and the repetition of certain themes made it feel very real to me. I wasn't so thrilled with the main characters, though I wanted to be.

I think it might be a case of so many people recommending this book that actually reading it was a little bit of a let down. It was enjoyable but nothing that rocked my world so that I'd remember it months later.
