I thought I would enjoy this, but it was honestly boring. There were some scenes with good dialogue and ideas, but the rest of the book, weaving these scenes together, was not well thought out. I feel like the author had some cool ideas and was inspired to write those scenes (they were enjoyable and stopped me from having to DNF), but didn't spend enough time tying those scenes together into a larger story. 

I also was not a fan of the characters; they were incredibly one-dimensional, and the FMC was infuriating. She constantly repeats thoughts and

talks about how the twins could never understand her, even though she knew they were raised in similar circumstances to herself

. I wanted more personality from Dom and Zay. I love how unhinged Zay was but I wanted more fleshing out of the twins' character and more interaction between them.

It was an easy read and I wasn't put off by the writing, but I also wasn't intrigued. Probably wouldn't recommend.
