Welcome to Litsy!

How much childhood trauma can we fit in a single book!? The answer is...too much 🙄. Not the worst thing I've ever read, but be prepared to throw the normal limits of believability out the window. Plus it was at least 100 pages too long. An interesting concept, poorly executed.

Book 2. 4🌟. We read this for last months book club read, everyone seemed to enjoy it. I think it did a good job depicting her manic state of mind, I don‘t want to give away too much though.

Eleanor and Helen are twins. Helen, labeled the good one, does the right thing, and Ellie, the slower and clumsy one, is considered not as intelligent. One day, as a game, they trade places with each other. Then Ellie doesn't want to switch back. We seem them alternating chapter's from Helen's point of view then and now. How Helen who is now Ellie has taken a downward turn, and how Ellie now Helen has seemingly thrived. But looks are deceiving.

Chores done. Time to read!

Continuing with the thrillers - this one is a thriller-ish. One day two identical twins decide to swap places but when one refuses to swap back one of them's whole life unfurls... I wasn't a massive fan. There is something missing from this book and there it is definitely an unbelievable scenario particularly from the mother - I find her character very unrealistic and difficult to buy into.

Identical twins, Ellie and Helen, swap places at six years old. At first it is just a game, but then Ellie refuses to swap back. Forced into her new identity, Helen develops a host of behavioral problems, delinquency and chronic instability. With their lives diverging sharply, one twin headed for stardom and the other locked in a spiral of addiction and mental illness, will the deception ever be uncovered?

In this story about twins, the plot revolves only one. It didn't work for me on all levels and I think that is one of the problems.

This was intense! Twin sisters decide to switch places as a joke and then one of them decides not to switch back. Chapters alternate between the past and present. Dark and moving and emotional. Very very good. Thank you for the recommendation @callunakeep

This book was amazing! An up close and personal look deep inside a very broken mind and soul, this book kept me riveted from beginning to end! The road from "normal" to "broken" and beyond was presented in a back & forth manner with chapters alternating between past and present in a manner that actually added a wonderfully dark and frenetic depth to the story and main character! IMPRESSED!!

I am also about half way through this audiobook and am LOVING it! It is dark and psychological, and I absolutely love it when an author can actually transport me into the damaged minds of his/her characters! This was a random find through Audible Daily Deals; so glad I sprung for this one!!

An Audible Daily Deal from last week, I had never heard of the book or the author, nor had I seen anything about it in LITSY. It just sounded good. I started it yesterday and am enjoying it very much! It is dark and psychological ... totally all up in the character's heads!

@DiruVamp Just added this to my TBR ... Another daily deal at audible ... Thought you might like it too!

I loved this book! I always enjoy stories about sisters and this is about twin sisters. It's intense and very sad.
