Summary

In their world, telling the truth has become the most dangerous crime of all.

In the near-future United States, a one-child policy is ruthlessly enforced. Everyone follows the Rule of One. But Ava Goodwin, daughter of the head of the Texas Family Planning Division, has a secret - one her mother died to keep and her father has helped to hide for her entire life.

She has an identical twin sister, Mira.

For eighteen years Ava and Mira have lived as one, trading places day after day, maintaining an interchangeable existence down to the most telling detail. But when their charade is exposed, their worst nightmare begins. Now they must leave behind the father they love and fight for their lives.

Branded as traitors, hunted as fugitives, and pushed to discover just how far they’ll go in order to stay alive, Ava and Mira rush headlong into a terrifying unknown.

Didn't love it, and not enticed to read the next.

I read a few reviews on goodreads about this and wanted to give it a go.

Narrator was good and I think kept it alive for me.

The story itself was not a bad sorry, he concept was there, and the two main characters are well thought out. You can tell that there is an authentic sibling bond that came through from sibling writers.
But, the journey was unexciting, when something happened to outlier characters you didn't really care, and there wasn't much in was of world building.

And the kicker was or me there were just a few too many of the tropes on this kind of book. Like there was a recipe of what goes into a dystopian novel and in pulling them all together there is hope it would work.

So in short, Recipe was there, the ingredients were quite good, but the result was just a bit bland.

Thoroughly enjoyed

I don’t know why this book is so underrated. I finished it in 2 sittings as I loved it. Would definitely recommend
