Her Perfect Twin: Skilfully plotted, full of twists and turns, this is THE must-read can't-look-away thriller of the year

Loved it thats it thats the review… LOVED IT

I love a psychological thriller featuring twins, and Sarah Bonner has knocked it out of the ballpark with her debut novel, Her Perfect Twin. The tension in this book is there on every page and I flew through it, captivated by the lives of the characters.Most people think that twins are very close, but that isn’t the case with Sarah’s characters, Megan and Leah. They’ve both gone onto lead very different lives, but it is clear to see just how much they hate each other. Megan can’t stand the fact that Leah took her dream, and has become a bestselling novelist and an influencer, and for what Leah shared about their lives to millions around the world. I could easily understand why Megan felt like this towards her sister.I loved Sarah Bonner’s writing and the voices of her characters. The tension is always there simmering away, and I loved how Sarah builds on this, as she continues to explore what happens between Leah and Megan. When Megan kills her twin, I had no idea what was going to happen next, especially as she devises a plan to get away with murder, by becoming her twin. Even though they are identical in looks, this is a lot harder for Megan, especially when it comes to getting her sister’s personality right.As I was reading I felt certain that Megan was going to be found out, especially when lockdown hits. I’ve read a couple of books that feature the pandemic, and Sarah Bonner really uses it well and to the plots advantage in her debut. You get the sense that Megan is trapped, with her sister’s body in her freezer, and it feels as though time is ticking for her.Sarah Bonner keeps the twists and turns coming. I felt I could see part of the way through the novel, where the book was going to go, but Sarah always had something extra up her sleeve that completely floored me. She knows how to write characters that you can’t stop thinking about, and she knows how to create characters who will really make your skin crawl. I loved the ending, it was exciting, tense, and I was flying through the final chapters to find out how things were going to unfold for the characters.Her Perfect Twin is a brilliant debut and I can’t wait to read what Sarah writes next.

This is the first novel I’ve read with a COVID context, and it has an excellent premise. Contemporary wisdom is right: it was a terrible time to be living a double life, and yet for someone trying to get away with murder, perhaps it made the cover-up just a tiny bit easier? This debut is creepily believable and very timely. I can really imagine it hitting the screens. Its structure is perfect for adaptation.Megan’s voice is deliciously sweary and strikes the right balance between jaded and judicious. She’s both a victim and a badass. I really enjoyed turning the pages of this cleverly-plotted thriller. It’s funny and insightful in places, harrowing in others.

Absolutely loved Her Perfect Twin.Read it in 2 days!Brilliant, twisty storyline. Up there with some of the best books I've read this year!Will definitely be keeping a look out for "Her sweet revenge" next year!

A refreshing take on a well used plot, twins! I loved this tense psychological thriller with twists that made me gasp out loud. Skilfully plotted, with characters you will love or hate. Sarah Bonner has written an accomplished debut novel that’s going to be a huge hit.
