Summary

“I loved it.”—Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author.

In this haunting tale about the bonds between sisters, one young woman must follow the invisible thread that connects her to her missing twin before someone else can sever it for good.

Twin sisters May and June couldn’t be more different. May is quiet, self-conscious, withdrawn; June is boisterous, beautiful, magnetic…and missing.

It’s been a year since June disappeared, a year of May waiting for her to turn up with an explanation of where she’s been and why she left. But with the discovery of an old newspaper article comes a secret: their mother once vanished, too, on the same date when she was nineteen years old.

Just like June.

This was no coincidence. June was investigating this buried family mystery, and she left May a series of clues to pick up where she left off. Now, if May wants to find June, she’ll have to retrace her footsteps through their mother’s past.

The more answers she digs up, the more questions May has. And the biggest one of all: When her sister’s trail of breadcrumbs runs out, what or who will she find?

Critic reviews

“Swift and immersive, Original Twin is sure to mesmerize and keep you guessing. In her brilliant debut, Gleeson weaves a compelling net of secrets, lies, and dangerous family drama. This deftly paced thriller is a sinister kaleidoscope of suspense! I dare you to put it down.”—Katya de Becerra, author of When Ghosts Call Us Home

“Razor sharp and deftly plotted, Gleeson’s debut unfolds like a feature film. The twists hit one after another until reaching a heart-stopping crescendo that left me gasping for breath. I couldn’t put it down!”—Marlee Bush, author of When She Was Me

“Paula Gleeson’s debut, Original Twin, is a clever whodunit loaded with hidden clues and twisted family secrets. This thriller—where no one can be trusted and everyone could be guilty—will keep you guessing until the very last page.”—Ashley Tate, author of Twenty-Seven Minutes

Badly written, unbelievable characters

Although an adult theme, this book was written in a style suited to teenage readers. Really not worth the time if you want something believable and mind stretching.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
