I was so intrigued with the premise of this story. As soon as I saw Vanishing Twin Syndrome, I had to read! 
After Lucy and James teenage daughter had a drowning accident, she is different. She is wanting to be called Eli who was her twin that vanished in the womb and was never born. The family starts to crumble and their marriage is falling apart. The chapters alternate between Lucy and Charlie who is Eden’s best friend. 
There is just a lot of holes in the plot. A lot of unanswered questions of what happened. 
My Name was Eden is still a great debut and I can’t wait to see what the author comes up with next.
