Reviews

This was so good. As the reader you can start to see what is happening and there were times when I was cringing hoping the characters were going to piece it together. This is a great domestic thriller that had me turning the pages.

One of my favorite reads of the year! So many twists and so much unexpected romance! Even though this was marketed as a thriller, it is equally a beautiful romance novel.

Absolutely loved seeing adults on the spectrum being written as fully-developed characters.

Compelling Family Drama. This one was pretty wild. On the one hand, you've got one twin sister who seems to be Autistic, though that word is never once used. Instead, Hepworth simply claims various "sensory processing disorders" (many of them very similar to this Autistic's own, fwiw) and shows this twin taking things very literally, not reading people very well, etc. IOW, classic signs of Autism - but again, that word is never once used in the text. Which is both cool and irritating. The other twin is a diabetic that feels she must always protect her Autistic sister. Except... let's just say the twins don't always remember the same events the same way. ;) Deeper into the book, a much larger conspiracy develops that really turns the back half of the book to near breakneck speeds. And then those last words... Truly excellent book, even without the use of the one word, and very much recommended.
