Okay so it’s light and fun… Think Twice by Lisa Scottoline is a thriller with a great sense of
humour. A little reminiscent of Carl Hiassen. I noticed it at the library and read it in one day. It’s not heavy on the description or inner conflict. But it’s tension-filled and pretty witty.
Two identical twins are separated at birth and grow up unaware of each other’s existence. As adults, Bennie is a responsible grown-up with her own law practice, an earnest ex-boyfriend, and a cupboard full of sensible shoes. Alice on the other hand is a drug-dealing con-artist with a reason to escape the country. In order to do that Alice needs Bennie’s life – just for a few days.
Alice takes over Bennie’s life in every way. She takes over her law practice, her bank account and her ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, Bennie is in deep trouble and her life is in danger.
It probably goes on a little bit too long. And in some spots, you’ll need to suspend your disbelief a little bit. But it’s mostly a light, fun, and highly entertaining read. A definite change of pace from my usual YA fare but well worth the time.
