In their world, telling the truth has become the most dangerous crime of all.
In the near-future United States, a one-child policy is ruthlessly enforced. Everyone follows the Rule of One. But Ava Goodwin, daughter of the head of the Texas Family Planning Division, has a secret—one her mother died to keep and her father has helped to hide for her entire life.
She has an identical twin sister, Mira.
For eighteen years Ava and Mira have lived as one, trading places day after day, maintaining an interchangeable existence down to the most telling detail. But when their charade is exposed, their worst nightmare begins. Now they must leave behind the father they love and fight for their lives.
Branded as traitors, hunted as fugitives, and pushed to discover just how far they’ll go in order to stay alive, Ava and Mira rush headlong into a terrifying unknown.
4.5/5 stars. I jumped on this book so hard when I saw that it was written ABOUT twins, BY twins. What?! I haven't read anything like that before, so I was so excited to read this. I'm happy to say this story did not disappoint! I'm not sick of YA dystopian at all so this was the perfect balance between fantasy and contemporary for me. I never knew what was going to happen next which made me read this so fast. I loved the inclusion of a Spanish-speaking character and enjoyed being able to understand her Spanish dialogue (though they always translated it). I thought I'd include that there is a trigger warning for attempted rape, for those of you who would want to know before picking this up. Anyways, the sequel is out in 2 weeks so it's definitely climbed up my TBR pile.
