I wasn’t thrilled with it either. I would have rather had a more thought out ending to this book, than an ending that seemed rushed and less appealing just to have a lead into a second book.Quinto wrote:This was a convenient way to explain things away. It may mean the author lacked a more convincing way to advance his plot. So it didn't work for me.
Did you like the plot twist at the end?

Have you seen The prestige.. It has twins..Whitney Marchelle wrote:I've gotten more into the twin things since seeing What happened to Monday and Orphan Black on tv. However, It's very cliche, hopefully it doesn't remain that way and there is something to build off of with the twin twist!

It would have been a great twist few decades back ?radioactivelyradiant wrote:I personally am not a fan of the "twin cliche' plot twist. It always feels somewhat shoehorned in as a last resort to make a novel seem deeper or more special.

I’ve not seen Monday or Orphan Black, but there are several movies that have incorporated the “long lost twin” idea, so I do agree that it is very cliche.Whitney Marchelle wrote:I've gotten more into the twin things since seeing What happened to Monday and Orphan Black on tv.

Opera is boring ?Brandi Noelle wrote:I definitely suspected there was more going on that the author was revealing. However, I agree that the twin theme is a bit cliché. Sort of felt like the plot twist in a soap opera, so more comical than intriguing.

Your soap opera analogy is spot on. It did cause a less intriguing twist and ending.Brandi Noelle wrote:I definitely suspected there was more going on that the author was revealing.

I did not see this twist coming. When it is mentioned that she had a twin, I thought maybe the gentleman with Alzheimer's was confused. I was shocked when I found out that she did have a twin and that he was part of the experiment that switched them. I did feel that it explained how it was so easy for her to take up the role as Jenny. I am curious about where they go, but I do believe that they will keep in touch and possibly make frequent visits to both the past and future.ashley_claire wrote:We discover toward the end of the book that Jennifer has a twin sister named Jenny and they were part of an experiment involving growing up in different centuries. Did you see this plot twist coming? Did you think it adequately explained things? Where do you think Jennifer and Jenny go from here?

Good twists are always interesting and give us a smile and satisfaction at the endJob Njoroge wrote:Plot twists are my favorite. I love books that create suspense and do not have a predictable ending. If you knew how a story would end then what would be the importance of reading it.

This never striked my mindAmie Gene wrote:The plot twist at the end did explain a few questions about how Jennifer was able to exist in both the 21st and the 30th century, but it also left more unanswered questions, especially about how that was possible and whether that affected her growing up or not.
