Welcome to Litsy!

The premise held a lot of promise, but didn't feel fully explored. The writing was decent & I did enjoy a good portion of the read. The multiple POVs with jumping timelines appears to have worked to a detriment, giving the plot a jumbled feel that lost me on occasion & led to issues with the tension. There was a lot of potential in the work, but it just didn't have oomph behind it. Overall, a decent read, but didn't quite meet the mark for me.

This is the first times in a looonnggg time I‘ve DNF‘d a book, but I just had to with this one. I don‘t even think it‘s necessarily the story‘s fault, I just really wasn‘t feeling it. It starts out great, telling the story of these two performing sisters pretending to be Siamese twins, then switched to just telling one sister‘s story and it got BORING. I just need more excitement right now I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Thanks to growing up on Sweet Valley books, I cannot resist a book about twins! Harriet and Josephine are born into a show business family- their father fell into the theater at a young age and their mother left Ohio and winds up on stage as well. Their daughters original vaudeville act doesn‘t garner much attention- but when the girls are rigged together to appear conjoined, the act takes off! Covers history and relationships in a compelling way!

I liked it, but I didn‘t really find any of the characters particularly likable, including Harriet. The book did a good job of show business and the time period, I think. I definitely did not like the ending – it initially appeared to be going (kind of) where I wanted it to, then suddenly changed course. It is very possible others would like the ending more than I did, however

This is told from Harriet‘s point of view. I liked it, but I didn‘t really find any of the characters particularly likable, including Harriet.

Perfect stay up until three am reading fiction. Vaudeville and old Hollywood!
