The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it’s not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it’s everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters’ storylines intersect?

I had some high expectations because once again I fell on the highly positive comments people on Goodreads have about this book. And let me tell you that this book doesn’t live up to all these good comments people have about this book. And I quickly DNF-ed it maybe like 10 chapters into this book

The writing style in this book is very very poor, it didn’t feel like it was written by a person who have written multiple books. It feel more like it was written by a elementary school child.

The plot here is very very boring, we fall twin sisters who essentially grow apart, they live in different cities, have their own lives and no contact with each other. And the entire plot is that one twin sister wants to rebuild the relationship with her twin but the second twin doesn’t want to. And to be honest it feels more like a family melodrama than anything else. And I don’t like that category to put it a nice and easy way.

The entire plot was very very drawn out, too long then it needed to be, uninteresting and very boring. The plot itself was the definition of torture and how you shouldn’t write a book

When it comes to the characters in this book they are bad, they are very shallow, flat and very very annoying. And I had very hard time even trying to like them, or finding something about them which would make me interested in them.

I didn’t read any of the other books of this author but after trying to read this book, I dont will read anything more from this author because this book have discouraged me from doing it.

I Give This Book 1 / 5
