The Twins
A breakout, coming-of-age novel that follows the sweet and bitter times of a set of north New Jersey sisters, who live very separate lifestyles, all while being raised in the same crowded and extended family household.
Penned by up-and-coming writer, Danisha Ford, The Twins is the first of a heart-stirring trilogy that dissects NeDasia (the good twin) and Nefeteria (the bad seed) Stevens on their romp through adolescence, middle school and eventually high school.
Beginning with an unspeakable violation from an older cousin that comes back to haunt them both, the twins find themselves forced to overcome one challenging experience after another as they shuffle from various family homes and apartments, endure fights and secrets, boyfriends and crushes and go from drama to turmoil, most of which is self-inflicted.
The Twins, an enchanting read about sisterhood and family to reflect on and share with all girls who have or wished they had one.

Emotional Rollercoaster
Typically I do not leave reviews but this book just had me all over the place. I gave this book three stars because it kept my attention. In the beginning I felt it was too drawn out with the abuse and then not enough details towards the end of the book. In my opinion the ending could have been better with more explanations.

Awesome Book
This book had a little errors in it, (sorry to be that critical about something so small) but despite the lack of proofreading the story was amazing. It send me through so many emotions; ranging from anger, to hope, to utter sadness.

Horrible ending
The ending is bs. It’s not right to end like the sopranos. Why right a book to leave it unfinished

Amazing story. Riveting, kept me on the edge of my seat. Was not expecting the ending. My heart goes out to the family as I know it's based on a true story

Good book. I hate the twins cousin Calvin. He needs to be arrested and I think he did something to Nefe too. Is there a part two for this story?

Strangely familiar
I understand why the author chose to end the story the way she did. I know this family and can only imagine that for the author her life seemed to stop the day they found her twin. It’s strange to read a book when you know the characters and the unfortunate outcome.

Really catching book. But Sophia LET those twins get away with so much shit it wasn't even funny. My mom would still have my ass laid out today at the age of 26 if I cursed as much as they did in front of her...smh.
Nefe had too much damn mouth for her own good. I did not feel sorry for her ass at all. Daisy was weak and dumb as a cunt. But good book lol.

I could relate to the story line on a personal level. I was captured from the beginning. This book is a rollercoaster of emotion and traumatic experiences. A must read if your into urban fiction with a twist of realness.

This is my first time reading a book by this author, and unfortunately it's just not my cup of tea. I will be honest and say I think it's written for a younger audience, and while I tried to complete it, I just couldn't.
