pickI‘m such a sucker for twin stories, so gobbled this one up in one sitting! Julie & her twin sister Chloe were raised apart after their parents‘ death. Adopted by a wealthy NYC couple, Chloe is an influencer while Julie struggled with being raised by their aunt, has worked in her upstate grocery store for almost a decade & tries to avoid seeing her quasi-famous twin online. This debut only starts here before Julie learns more about her twin‘s life!
pickTwins Julie and Chloe are separated quite young after their parents die. Now, Chloe is a trending influencer and Julie is at a dead end. Then Julie finds Chloe dead and finds herself slipping into Chloe‘s life. I really enjoyed this. It has a good tone and veers into camp (but it works) while providing social commentary on social media.
so-soI started reading this one with a lot of expectations, since it has been listed as an anticipated release this year (that should‘ve been my first red flag…). The story was engaging for about 50%, but then it took a whole different turn (not for the better, IMO).
It became predictable, which in turn made it boring for me.
This being the author‘s first novel makes it a great effort and I will read her future work.

I wanted to read something a little less heavy than my normal reads and this is proving to be a good choice! #arc
