Didn’t work for me: The Twins at St Clare’s

I went into The Twins at St Clare’s with pretty normal expectations and it surprised me. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. The pacing stays moving and the chapters end on good beats. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.

The Twins at St Clare’s is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. The atmosphere is the standout — it’s easy to sink into. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.

The Twins at St Clare’s has a strong core idea — the execution mostly works. Characters feel distinct, and the dialogue reads naturally. Not perfect, but it did enough to keep me turning pages.

Mixed feelings on The Twins at St Clare’s, but I can see why people love it. There are a few scenes that genuinely hit emotionally. A couple of sections could have been trimmed without losing anything. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.
