By J.C. Bidonde

USA Today Bestseller

Alexa lives a sheltered life with her widowed father, feeling stifled by his helicopter parenting. When she secures a marketing job and apartment in New York City--much to her father's and therapist's concern--Alexa has high hopes of finally sneaking her way into adulthood. But her newfound freedom is cut short when her estranged twin sister Beth, after a long stint in a psychiatric setting, unexpectedly shows up at the doorstep of her tiny apartment.

​Alexa, too, has spent time at the Weinstein Center. But she's determined to lead a normal life now and soon begins to date a YouTuber client. According to Beth, something isn't quite right with Curt, but Alexa shrugs her clingy sister's warnings off. It's Beth who's crazy, after all . . . As the sister bond grows strained over Alexa's relationship and career success, questions mount, and secrets unfold, revealing the wickedly dark shared history of the twin siblings. What exactly happened when the twins were only nine that set this vile trajectory in motion?

Things get more complicated, and one treacherous act threatens everything Alexa has been working toward. It will be on her--and Beth--to claw their way out of this situation.

Had Promise But...

I was intrigued by the premise of the story. I enjoy reading stories about twins and this pair had quite the thrilling mystery surrounding them. Unfortunately the story failed to deliver. It helps to have at least one of your characters be likeable but that was not really the case. Alexa and Beth and even Curt all grated on me. I was also thrown out of the story every time the author put in a mention about masks or hand sanitizer or some other reference to the pandemic. It was not needed to move the plot along. Despite those problems though, I did care enough to finish reading this book and see if I was right. I had to suspend my disbelief at times but even that wasn't enough for the Curt angle that was thrown in at the end and was completely ridiculous. That could have been left out. I have read other books about people with Alexa's diagnosis that I liked better but this was okay for a debut novel.
