I was surprised we got another story about Jack and Jill. I was also surprised that nearly everyone seemed to think it would be no big deal to switch bodies with an identical twin because they look so similar. I would think there would always be some body dysphoria with a body swap, but I could see how it would be even worse with an identical twin, even for someone without OCD. Even with identical twins there would be some minor differences, enough to produce an uncanny valley feeling every time you looked in the mirror.
This novella lacked the lyrical omniscient third person perspective that was present in the other Jack and Jill stories.

I was so delighted falling back into this series after a long break since I enjoy the idea behind them and most of the character but there is such utter sadness buried within.
Sumi is terrifying and delightful in this book.
Jack is falling apart (not literally) and my heart hurts for her.
Alexis is cool as hell.
I had hoped there would be more than the briefest mention of Christopher & Cade, but perhaps they'll get the own stories yet.
As a side note, Seanan pronounces a few words very differently than I have heard them before.
