Thank you for my free copy - wasn't expecting it either! Unfortunately I wasn't very impressed with this book - although it was well written I guessed the most important twist about halfway through and then it was just a case of waiting to be proved right...also I did not feel that the therapist's actions were professional or ethical AT ALL - which annoyed me a great deal (he should be sacked). I did not like the way certain characters flitted in and out without me ever getting a good sense of who they were or what their role was (e.g. the friend Ana, the friend Nick). Also I thought that there were too many sub-plots going on. Overall I was more irritated than anything by this book - sorry.

I received a copy of this Mumsnet, without even expecting it...what a gift!!! This was a great book to read, had me riveted from the beginning. We meet 2 twins, one at a time. The author intrigues us right from the beginning as it soon becomes apparent that the truth as it is told to us, is not necessarily the truth...or is it? The author is skilled in constantly challenging our perception of the truth and how each character is perceived by other characters based on what they believe about them. The plot hinges on the mysterious circumstances of an accident that happened in the twins' childhood and how the search for the truth surrounding the accident and everything that comes after can influence the characters' lives going forward. A deeply satisfying ending and a tightly woven, many layered plot. Brilliant read...thoroughly recommended.
