When She Was Me by Marlee Bush
2.0
2.5⭐️
This book started off really slow. I was almost at the point of DNFing, but I’m glad I read through the end because I really liked the premise and twists of this book.
About halfway, the book really started to pick up. I was absolutely hooked by the secrets these twin sisters had and I loved the switch between past and present. I also didn’t see the twist coming, so I applaud the author for that!
However, along with it being a slower pace than I prefer, I also didn’t fully vibe with the writing and had a hard time picking it up when I had free time which is unusual for me. Every time I did read, it felt repetitive and like I had already read that part of the book before. I attribute this to trying to draw out their secrets for as long as possible.
This isn’t a bad book by any means, just not one that I could fully get into, especially at the beginning.
