This is by far my favourite so far, and I suspect a long time to come.

Even with their issues, I loved the realism of their relationship. Most of the books with twins that I've come across have had close relationships, loving and kind. But let's face it, when you've got a sibling, it's never all puppies and rainbows and I loved how complex their relationship was. So, SO beautiful.
