I couldn't put this book down. Leona and Fiona are identical twins. They looked so much alike, they even fooled their parents. They would often switch identities to get what they wanted. I was not a big fan of Fiona. I feel like she switched with Leona when she did bad things and Leona had to suffer. Leona loved her sister so much she would anything for her. I enjoyed how the book began while the twins were children and smoothly transitioned to lives as adults. I caught on to what was going on with their friend, Bonnie Sue, as she interacted with Leona throughout the book. I hate that she took her obsession with Leona as far as she did. The ending was not to bad even though a tragic event took place. If you are a fan of historical fiction, this is a great novel to read!
