3.0

So this book was rather difficult for me to get into and enjoy. And I will lay that primarily at the feet of the non-linear timeline. You jump back and forth between multiple periods in Cora/Stefonie's life and I personally always find that difficult to follow and create a connection with the characters. Cora/Stefonie definitely is not a likeable character, I couldn't even get behind her as she experienced horrible things. I definitely don't think she deserves them but it didn't make me root for her either. The twins however, are amazing and I loved them. I definitely wish that they played an even bigger part than they did. 

Overall this book has it's ups and downs but I would definitely try something else by this author and I think for the right people this is an amazing book.
