I didn’t hate the book but man was it frustrating.

-The book was really slow until the half way point.

-it kinda went exactly how you would expect a book that is a thriller with a twin to go

-all the characters were frustrating of how fast people that have known Ivy for years and were really close to her turned away from her so fast for someone that they have known for a week or two. I don’t expect them to think Iris is capable of murder but at least look into it a little bit. Especially when at the end you get the reveal how Iris did all this it is frustrating.

- the dad was very frustrating of how little trust he has for his own daughter that he is supposed to be close with.

Spoilers

There were some decisions that was very frustrating with the characters even if you are able to believe Iris is that good manipulating people. Mostly with the dad.

1. The decision the dad made to not allow Ivy to see her boyfriend unless someone else is around. If you are that worried about your daughter having sex how come you haven’t done anything before. Most couples make out wheather you see it or not. It does not mean she is going to have sex. Ivy and her dad are supposed to be close. If she saids she is not ready to have sex just trust her.

2. The decision for her not see her therapist anymore and switch to someone else. There was no signs that the therapist said anything that would be making Ivy go crazy. If Ivy is going that crazy shouldn’t she be seeing her therapist anymore.

3. If your daughter that you trust is saying that your other daughter (that you don’t know as well) admitted to murder how come you are not at least questing the daughter more or at least looking more into it.

Frustrating decisions not made by dad

4. The Therapist bringing Iris in to visit Ivy days after Ivy freaked out and attacked Iris. I know that it has been 6 days but Iris was the one that Ivy has been furious at for weeks and was willing to attack her and didn’t regret it afterwards. One: they should of at least gave her another week or at least one fully week of cool down time. Two: have someone talk to Ivy and figure out how she feels about Iris. Three: it should be supervised so that if anything happens then someone can step in.

5. Sophia in the locker room. Even if she was mad at Ivy and Iris convinced her that it was a harmless prank then how come it didn’t come out earlier that she did it and how did she not realize later that she went too far and realize that it was weird that Iris wanted her to do this to her sister that was freaked out for a while.

6. With the pool thing how come the principal automatically assumed that it was Ivy when he has no proof. Just because she started “acting out” it doesn’t mean that every bad behavior was caused by them.

How come two deaths that look like a selfie accident isn’t suspicious to anyone especially when one of them was a older women.

I didn’t like the twist that Iris wanted her mom’s boyfriend. That was just gross.

Ty turning against Ivy in the end makes no sense because it makes no sense for Ivy to send the photo to Ty of the secret that she was keeping from him for a long time and didn’t want him to find out. Also how come Ivy told Ty that she thinks Iris killed her mom but she never told him about the photos.

As someone that has made review on this book have pointed out: the hospital have cameras or someone keeping watch of what was going inside the room so after Iris goes to leave the doctors look at the cameras and see the confession or that is my version of the ending.
