Review

Twisted Fate by Norah Olson is twisted indeed! Sisters Allyson and Sydney don't have much in common except maybe their interest in the new boy next door. Sydney is the 'bad' girl who dresses in all black, takes drugs, and has casual sex but also has the GPA and talent to go far. Allyson is the 'good' girl who bakes treats, listens to her parents, does average in school, and is questioning whether she will get accepted to her college of choice. The boy next door has a secret but maybe Allyson and Sydney do too. This is dark tale with a twist ending the reader will see coming a mile away but will enjoy it when it comes nonetheless. Twisted is a disturbing book that explores themes of identity, social media, and privacy. You won't want to put it down.

Overall Book Score: very good
