Rating: */5
A copy of this book was provided to me by
the publisher in exchange for an honest
review.
I don’t think I can give a star rating to this book. I’m not
even really sure what to think of it. This book was an experience. I’ve never
read a Mindy McGinnis book before but I will definitely be checking out her
other works. There was some really creative prose full of double meanings
within conversations between Shanna and Sasha that were extremely impressive.
This book was weird as hell. Sasha has basically no memories
whenever Shanna (the sister she absorbed in the womb) takes over her body. I’m
still not sure if it’s an alternate reality where possession is an actual thing
and the sister was real, or if Sasha has Multiple Personality Disorder. Sasha
is a well-put together terrible person (she gets called abitch multiple times)
and she’s the GOOD twin. By well put together I mean she is so smart and so
sure of herself that as the POV it’s hard for the reader and for the characters
around her to discern what’s the truth and what is Sasha’s delusion.
The book is dark, it has its graphically violent moments,
and it’s a lot to take in. Handle this book with caution, but if you’re up for
an effed up adventure- go for it. Don’t be hanging on to the edge of your seat
for a resolution though- while things get tied up there are some intentional loose
threads that personally bother the heck out of me.
