My Name Was Eden
by Eleanor Barker-White
Lucy is desperate to have a baby and thrilled when she falls pregnant with twins, however very quickly it’s clear that one of the twins is no longer present on her scans and she is informed she has experienced vanishing twin syndrome. Fast forward 13 years and we follow Lucy’s journey as her surviving twin Eden has a tragic near death experience and wakes up claiming to be her vanished twin brother, Eli.
Here’s the thing, I was so certain until about the 50% mark that I was going to rate this highly. Psychopathic tendencies in children is a buzz word for me in thrillers (not sure what that says about me, but here we are!) and the whole premise of this book is just so unique and creative. I just feel once we passed the middle, the book became repetitive and unnecessarily long winded. I didn’t enjoy the resolution of the book and could certainly have done without that epilogue!! I do think this would have been better if it was around half the length because the premise was so brilliant and it started out so strongly.
Thank you to the publisher, author and netgalley for the ebook in exchange for an honest review.
