What a ride this debut thriller is!
Leah and Megan are identical twins. So identical that noone can tell them apart. But unlike many twins, they are not close. In fact, they haven't spoken for years.
Leah lives a life of fame, fortune and freedom. Megan is married to the seemingly perfect husband, Chris.
But behind closed doors, Megan's life is falling apart and evidence that Leah and Chris are having an affair.
When Megan decides to confront Leah, the confrontation turns murderous. What is Megan to do but become Leah and try to get away with murder.
I have to admit, I started off this book and wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. Firstly, absolutely none of the characters are likeable - at all - and usually that is a turn off for me. But I persisted and I am so glad I did.
I haven't read a thriller quite like this before and it blew me away. It is broken up into multiple parts, with each part told from a different character's perspective and the twist at the end of Part 1 was 🤯🤯🤯
If you love thrillers full of plot twists, then this is the book for you. I can totally see this being turned into a Netflix movie.
Just a note for author Sarah Bonner, I will be sending you my therapy bills for the foreseeable future. 😂😂😂
Thanks to Hachette Australia for the review copy of this book.
