The Twins by J.S. Lark - ★★
Blurb:
"Susan and Sarah. Sisters. Best friends. Together...forever?
Nothing could break them apart.
Until they meet him.
And he can only choose one...
Now Susan is back. Determined to reclaim everything Sarah has taken from her.
Her home. Her husband...her life?"
Review:
This story follows twin sisters Susan and Sarah. You are immediately drawn in at the first chapter. Sarah is married to Jonny and they have a grown-up daughter called Lucy. Susan surprises them by turning up at their door and we learn that they have been estranged for 30 years. Something has happened in the past that Sarah wants to forget. She needs Susan to leave forever.
This book had the potential to be brilliant. It is written well and I did feel like I wanted to carry on to see what happened. Firstly, the chapters switch between three different timelines but also the narratives of both Susan and Sarah with no distinction. You don't know what moment in time you are at or whose character you are reading about until you've read into the chapter a bit.
The main storyline is great. Although I didn't like a single character in this book, we are given depth of both sisters, learning about their tough childhood and how they met Jonny. The book touches on a lot of different subjects from abuse, drug addiction, rape and teenage pregnancy.
For me, there was one too many twists. It ended up confusing and a little far fetched and unbelievable at times.
