I’m just going to say it up here: Keep reading all the way to the end. That’s what makes the whole book. Seriously, keep reading.
Iris and Summer are identical twins on the outside, but inside — where it counts — they are actually mirror images of each other, both in the placement of their organs and in who they are. One is the “perfect” twin, while the other is severely flawed. When Summer needs Iris to help her sail the family yacht out of Thailand to the Seychelles, Iris drops everything to go to her. But, when Iris finds herself alone on the boat in the middle of the ocean, she pretends to be Summer — who she has always wanted to be — even to Summer’s unsuspecting and amazing husband Adam. But how long will she be able to get away with the charade?
The premise of this book is definitely weird, and some of the explicit conversations between Summer and Iris at the beginning of the story was very uncomfortable and seemed out of place in context (although kind of makes sense later,) but the ending of the book will knock you in circles as it twists and turns toward the conclusion. The ending alone is the best reason to read this book, and you’ll be thinking about this one for days to come. I finished this a few days ago, and I still can’t believe how it all went down. And, unlike some books that really have to work to make the twists and turns successful, this one came together smoothly, although in a big rush of adrenaline. .
