Who is not a fan of a psychological thriller. I know I am. To be honest, I thought this was a good book but it did feel like it did read for a younger audience. The intensity levels were mild and this included the pranks and such that Iris played on Ivy. There were a couple of times that I barely

blinked at what Iris did to Ivy or did not even realize she had done something until I read the next section when Ivy was getting blamed. Iris was very evil. The things she did to her sister were mean. You could say that I despised her.

While, I did feel like this book was lighter on the psychological thriller aspect, it was still a good read. It kept my attention for the most part. The latter third of the story is where things really picked up aka "meat" of the story. The ending made up for the lack of full excitement I felt about this book.

Teen novel about twins who have lived apart due to their parents’ divorce. Now that their mother has died, Iris moves in with Ivy and their father. Iris proceeds to infiltrate herself into Ivy’s life, taking over Ivy’s friends and her life.
No one believes Ivy that Iris is manipulating them.

It all builds to an explosive ending-one of obsession - and it is sad what one can do to take over another’s life.

I did not realize this was Young Adult when I picked it up, but it does read YA and follows twin sisters in high school. However; I was really pulled into the audiobook on this one. It was pretty easy to figure out what was going to happen in the end and I did not really see that as a "plot twist".

I was hoping for some really big plot twist that came out of nowhere, but it was very lack luster. I was not a fan of the ending as it just ended. I literally was in bed and said out loud, "this is how it ends."

However; the story kept my interest and I enjoyed it up until the closing pages.
