This is the story of two twins, separated at birth and raised in different households. Adina and Rhys both grow up to be disturbing people and we follow them as they do disturbing things, culminating in their lives intersecting to the detriment of all. The forward and backward organization of this story was a little jarring a first, you are constantly switching between storylines, and past and present, but once you get the rhythm it was a nice way of slowly revealing what led up to the events at the beginning of the story. This story is fairly dark and does include some taboo elements, which may not be for everyone, but I felt it was very well-written and vibrantly portrayed a variety of people with psychological problems (the two main characters weren’t the only ones with problems here). Very engaging read!
