3.5/5 ⭐️ Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the ARC! I had this one on my TBR already as I’ve read “House of Glass” by Pekkanen and enjoyed it. Georgia Cartwright lives a life in the spotlight, but everything crumbles when she is accused of murdering her own sister. She plays the insane card (after studying psych in school) and refuses to speak to anyone besides Mandy. Mandy lives a normal life, running a bar that her dad left her when he passed away. Also, she’s never even heard of Georgia besides reading about the death of Annabelle Cartwright in the newspaper. But Georgia claims that they are twins and something inside Mandy makes her trust her. But is Georgia telling the truth when she claims she didn’t do it? How can Mandy be sure she trusts her? So much family drama unfolds throughout this story, it’s hard to keep track who actually is telling the truth and who is lying. The books go back and forth from the two sisters POV. There’s a lot of characters introduced who are just as suspicious as Georgia herself, if not more. The twists were a bit underwhelming, I saw two of them coming, but the plot was good. I enjoy a good psych ward setting. And the final twist at the end was my favorite! Overall a good psychological thriller to indulge in this summer, and the audiobook narration was pretty good, as well.
