The author did a fine job of writing the story, BUT - I didn't like the story. The story is about identical twins narrated by twin Kerry. Mom leaves them when they are six years old - dad dies when they are sixteen. The other twin goes on to sleep with a lot of men, while Kerry falls in love with the guy (Justin) next door, who Eve secretly loves as well. Justin two-times Kerry and marries Eve because she is pregnant. Kerry leaves and gets all with her life (heartbroken, but is called back years later when Eve is dying of cancer at the age of thirty. Eve has the audacity to tell Kerry to stay with Justin and their daughter after she dies. The mom shows up for six hours and that's the last we see of her.

A very disburbing story with no real happiness.
