White Bodies by Jane Robins
2.0
Callie is obsessed with her prettier, more accomplished twin sister, Tilda. When Tilda starts dating a new man named Felix, Callie feels that something is off with him, and is determined to protect her sister at all costs. But when Felix suddenly dies, Callie is more confused than ever. What was his relationship with her sister truly like?
Yeah, this book made me a little mad. Why did the narrator, who was supposed to be an adult in her mid-twenties, seem like an obsessive teenager? I understand going for an unreliable narrator, but I feel like that device works so much better when narrator sparks an inkling of doubt, rather than full on disbelief. I was just not buying it the entire time, which meant that I didn't care at all about Callie and her sister's relationship, or about Felix's death.
Meh, if you're looking for a really interesting thriller with complex characters, then I'd say give this one a pass.
