Twins

This was an unexpected surprise I discovered at the online book fair of 2020. I had been wanting to try a graphic novel for quite a while, and the plot of twins completely blew me away. I was utterly hooked from the first sentence, so much so that I finished it within a day and then hated myself for it as I didn't want it to end! It's one of those books.
