“‘I know what we have isn’t normal. I know we can’t be out about it, but we can still make something of this. Can’t we? We can call it dating, just not to other people. We can be a couple. Twins with benefits.’”

Kicking myself for taking so long to read this book because it was everything. I think I was scared of it not being able to live up to Double-edged, but it far surpassed it.

Firstly, Atticus and Asher. I’ll be honest and say I wasn’t the biggest fan of Asher in the beginning. This book is a single POV in Atticus’s point of view, so it was hard to decipher Asher’s thoughts in the beginning. I kind of resented him a bit for not helping Atticus sooner. But then as things shifted from brotherly to more, I really got the softest spot for Asher as he struggled to come to terms with everything.

Atticus is honestly one of the best MMC’s I’ve ever read, and living in his head 24/7 was such a privilege. He’s hilarious and sassy and self-deprecating, and I absolutely adore him. The amount of highlights I have in this book is insane, but nearly everything Atticus said had me in tears from laughing and I don’t ever want to forget a single thing.

I also really enjoyed the fact that their attraction wasn’t already established when the story started. We got to see it happen and see how they reacted to those feelings. Very little happened off-page, which I also appreciated.

I’m obsessed with the plot of this, which kind of gives For The Fans vibes. Basically they respond to an ad asking for identical twins to be cover models for a twincest book. To combat the weirdness, they try to become the characters of the book—Elliot and Ender—when they have to be intimate. But the more they learn about the characters of the book, the more they begin to relate to them, and the less they channel those fake personas when they’re together.

Also Jay and Dean? Loved them, and the whole thing that went on there. Big fan.

Cannot wait to read more from Nicky James. This book was such a treat, and I’m so glad I nabbed a special edition cover from Romance Me Book Box when I had the chance.
