This was a very unique psychological thriller. The plot was intriguing and started out strong. I had never heard of vanishing twins so the idea that one of the main characters who was involved in a near drowning and woke up telling everyone they were now the vanished twin was interesting.
The family dynamics were confusing but the more I read the layers peeled back and revealed what I needed to understand for the most part. I still think there are holes that weren’t answered but that could be intentional.
I did not find the characters very likable but I don’t think they were meant to be likable.
The ending was phenomenal.
Overall a good read. Solid 3 stars.
