Juno Dawson is MEAN!! That's where the book ends!! I listened to the audiobook and the last 10 minutes nearly killed me!! (please note the five star rating and realize I'm being hyperbolic).
I think the best part of this book for me is the self-fulfilling prophecy trope. "One's a good twin and one's evil!" I couldn't stop thinking about me and my sister. She's way the nicer one now and would be much more likely to help with anything. However, if this prophecy was thrown at us as babies, she definitely would have been "evil" because she was louder and more demanding and independent. I was a much easier baby who actually liked napping. The point is just that you don't know when a screamer will grow up to be a boss or a crime boss.
