I loved how sinister, twisted dark this book was! I must admit that i absolutely love a twin troupe and this book just hit on everything that I love about a not quite right romantic thriller! THE TWISTS ALSO…my jaw dropped a few times! Cant wait to see the movie based on this book!
Special thanks to HTP Books and Mira books for the review copy of this book!!!

My god this was such a wild ride from beginning to end. A story involving twins one who prefers to follow her own path without feeling the need to mold herself to fit the standards of others. The other who just wants to be loved and not inconvenience others at all even if it means sacrificing her needs. Anna is the sweet responsible twin and Zoe is the carefree fun-loving twin, even though they have different personalities they are still quite close. While Anna lives in London her sister Zoe lives in the States, they still keep in touch constantly calling each other and keeping updated on what they are doing. Anna wants to fall in love and marriage as she feels lonely and thinks that she's at the age where she should already be in a relationship and starting a family ( just like so many of her friends/acquaintances). After much consideration, she decides to give online dating a shot though Zoe thinks that's not such a great idea, while discussing her profile with her sister Anna decides to lie about her age, and there's a secret she's hiding as well. She matches with Nick who isn't looking for anything serious at first but he slowly starts to fall for Anna. Their relationship progresses rather quickly after that and Zoe is not happy at all and finds it quite suspicious. Anna then invites Zoe to come meet Nick. From there so many things happen, there's betrayal, secrets, and quite a few twists until the end. You get somewhat an idea of how things will turn out from the beginning but things are not quite as they seem.

htp_hive hijacked my reading plans last weekend with #TheImageofYouReadalong Except this ended up being such a page turner that I found it impossible to stick to the reading schedule! If you love wild, twisty, sexy thrillers, make sure you grab this one before its movie adaptation on May 10!
I love Adele Parks and The Image of You fell into that category as well. Oddly enough this ended up being 5th book about twins in the past 5 weeks! It’s also the very first book I read in which character works exactly in the same line on work as me (Anna works in the drop-in for people experiencing homelessness and I run a slightly “rougher” version of the same program)! Just a few reasons this ended up being such a memorable read.
Anna and Zoe are twins albeit identical in looks only. Anna believes in love and finding her Prince Charming (despite only having experience with lying cheating frogs), while Zoe doesn’t trust men or feelings. Then Anna meets charming, good looking Nick and what she believes to be her happily ever after. Except with her wildly protective twin, all bets are off.
Grab this if
📚 you’re looking for an unputdownable thriller
📚 you enjoy games of cat & mouse
📚 you like thrillers about twins
📚 you like element of steamy in your reads
📚 you want to make sure you read the book before seeing the movie
Full disclosure, I did guess the big twist but I blame the sheer amount of thrillers I read plus my profession! I was still highly entertained by the way things played out! Especially the ending 😱
A huge thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Mira & NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Oh wow, The Image of You is a messy tale of sisterhood and deception! And that ending!!! My recommendation is to go in blind and enjoy this very wild ride -- from the slow build-up to the freefall ending.
I can see why this book is being made into a movie. It's a great pick.

okay to me it was so obvious the plot twist of the book. like painfully so. I also think the way this book was written was really heavy handed and went on for far too long
