Twin fraternal sister grow to become two very different people.

Could have been a nice rom com but for the strong undercurrent of emotional abuse, gaslighting, and codependency.  Read at your own risk if you are triggered by abuse, in any sense of the term.

The bad twin is really, really, really bad at manipulation.  Everyone sees throught it except, initially, the good twin who is one of the prime targets of the manipulation.  That's a pretty major plot hole for me; it may be realistic that some folks might keep that observation to themselves, but not everyone.
