The Twins by JS Lark
The Twins by J.S. LarkMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Whew, this one was a whirlwind.
Susan and Sarah are two twins who have been estranged for thirty years. Sarah has been married to Jonny, Susan’s love interest from when they were kids. Hold onto your seat, because this one starts at a 10 and quickly zips up to 100. There’s the present, when Susan shows up at Sarah’s house, eager to disrupt Sarah’s family and her marriage; the future, when Susan is dead, and Lucy, Sarah’s daughter, is in a coma; and the past, which tells about the girls from the time they were young until they were about 19.
There are lots of secrets, violence, abuse, and the narratives pass from Susan to Sarah. I feel like I can’t say more without giving it away, but even though the story was a bit unbelievable, it was riveting and so fun to read. And a bit sad at times, too. You don’t know who to trust.
The only thing I would change is there are some punctuation mistakes and no ending punctuation when one character cuts into another’s dialogue. It irked me and was a bit distracting.
Thanks the NetGalley, Harper Collins UK, and One More Chapter for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
