My Name Was Eden by Eleanor Barker-White
3.0

Short Synopsis:
I’m sure you’ve heard of vanishing twin syndrome - where one twin disappears or is absorbed in utero. This book is that. But make it creepy. And you can trust nobody.

My Thoughts:
The concept of this book was fantastic. I haven’t ever heard a good excuse about vanishing twin syndrome, so this was fun to explore that. But also it ended up being a bit too much for me. Too much death - especially in kids.

The last couple chapters and epilogue were great though. If you’re a fan of The Push, you’ll probably enjoy this one too.
