As I began to lightly dip my toes into physiological thrillers, this book had me reeling for a hot minute. It took a moment extra to digest and unpack! I’m still unsure if I completely understand the entire story a few years later! 😂

Plot was confusing and hard to follow, will not be trying to finish in the future

4.5 rounded down. This one is going to take a while to digest, in the best way.

This book was a wild ride. It gives you love, betrayal, mystery. It did take me some time to get invested but once I did, I had to k ow how it ended!

With nods to Perter Pan and treasure Island, this is a heartbreaking story of twins, Cat and El, growing up in the confines of their large house where the basement is their play area and is transformed by their imagination into Mirrorland where they rule the high seas and the prison in Shawshank Redemption. The story opens with the news reaching Cat that El has died. They haven't spoken to each other for years and the story unfolds to reveal what went on between them in Mirrorland.
It's quite a dark and disturbing tale with very well written character and plot twists which I did not see coming. Very good book.

I picked up and put down this book a few times. I thought THIS IS IT, either I read it now, or let it go out of my want-to-read list. The beginning was a bit slow, and there was a lot of backstories that felt dragged on a little longer than necessary, but it definitely warmed up. Lots of twists and turns, and

A few pacing issues, a few hand-wavey parts where you can see the seams, but HOO BOY. Trauma house indeed.
