Thank you to St.Martin's Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for a review. All opinions in this review are my own.
This book follows sisters as they navigate a murder that has happened. Georgia is locked up in a psychiatric hospital, and reaches out to her long-lost twin sister, Amanda for help. Amanda then tries to figure out what happened, and how she can help Georgia escape her fate in the locked ward.
This was a 2.5 star read for me, and unfortunately, I found it fell a little flat. My biggest complaint was about the pacing in this book - it felt really slow. I also felt like both Amanda and Georgia's character development was very surface level. This book is supposed to be a psychological thriller, but the only psychological part of this story was the fact Georgia was in a psychiatric institution.
I did enjoy the cast of supporting characters and I did not see the twist coming in this book!
