Tw: sexual abuse, rape, substance abuse, eating disorders, gaslighting, self harm, abuse, suicide attempt, child pornography When I started the book, I felt very nauseous after the first chapter. (Obviously it was very well written.) I had a vague idea what it will be about, but I didn’t expect it to hit me that hard. I wondered if I would be able to keep going with the book, if it was smart for me to keep going. I did keep going, with the thought that I would stop if it got too much for me. In the end, I finished it. The story is told in dual pov by the twins. And while they are very different, their home life does twist them together in the worst possible way. It is anxiety inducing to follow this story, every step of the way. I did not see the twist coming at all and it got me so good, even tho I have known a story like that before, it didn’t cross my mind at all that it was what was happening in this one.

3,75* Identical konnte mich wirklich sehr gut unterhalten und die Geschichte war so faszinierend, dass ich sie in nur 2 Tagen ausgelesen habe. Leider wurde ich bereits gespoilert worum es in dem Buch gehen wird und das hat tatsächlich meine Leserfahrung etwas gedrückt. Daher konnte mich das Ende nicht so mitnehmen, wie es sonst vielleicht hätte. Trotzdem war es ein wirklich gutes Buch, dass mit sehr schweren Themen sich auseinander setzt.
