Identical by Saskia Sarginson

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @rararesources and @SaskiaSarginson for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Identical is a psychological thriller that I was addictive to, I could not put it down, it is a riveting read. I do love a good psychological read, and identical ticked everything. The story is about Cecily, who rings up her identical sister Alice to be her for a bit. This is a fast-paced read that will keep you on your toes. There are a few different narratives which are Alice and Cecily point of view and I think I preferred Alice to Cecily, I seemed to connect to her more, but I don't know why. Identical is written well and gripped me to the end. I kind of had a feeling what the twist could be, and I did get it, but its was fantastic twist. There is a fair amount of tension and suspense that runs through the book. A page turner that you are not going to be able to put down 4 stars. Identical ‘Please, I need your help. You’re the only person I can turn to. The only person who can pretend to be me…’ When Alice gets a desperate message from her estranged identical twin sister Cecily, she can’t help herself. She has to say yes. Pushing down the memories of the terrible childhood that ultimately tore them apart, she arrives at her sister’s house. Cecily has left instructions: how to work the oven, what to cook for supper, what to say to her husband. She says she’ll only be gone a week. She just needs to contact a lawyer, sort her head out, and work out how to get away from her marriage safely. Alice barely knows why she’s agreed. But as she puts the key in the door, she wonders if – in coming to help her sister – she might be putting herself in the most terrible danger. Because when Cecily stops replying to messages, and the words ‘die, die, die’ appear scrawled in lipstick on the bathroom mirror, Alice realizes – someone is out to get Cecily. And now they think Alice is her… An absolutely pulse-pounding psychological thriller – with a twist that literally nobody will see coming – from bestselling author Saskia Sarginson. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Shari Lapena and Gone Girl.

I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f...
