Unabridged Audiobook
Mary Monroe sholl know how to write a book. Chileeeeeeeeeee, I always wondered how life's like being a twin, especially an identical one. Fiona and Leona did everything you can imagine and more. They did all the typical switching one would think of, like in school, with boys, and work. But they took it too far, from jail time, pregnancy, and home life with Fiona's husband. The twins' mother was strict on them, so they found the need to switch to accomplish the things they wanted. Especially since she was harder on Fiona than Leona. Mary had me hooked from start to finish. She highlighted life in that era, even noted being gay and living a double life/lie. Bonnie Sue, the twins' best friend, had a crush/infatuation with Leona even though she was married with 3 sons. She tried her best to run off any guy who liked Leona or showed interest in her. Even killed.... One night, she decided to confess her love for Leona (not knowing the girls had switched and it was actually Fiona), and she told her to leave and that she'd pray for her. She told her that they could no longer be friends. This hit a switch in Bonnie Sue's mind. The next day, she returned, begging Leona (Fiona) to still be her friend and to hear her out. The big mistake was letting her in the house because if Bonnie Sue couldn't have her, no one could. Bonnie Sue confessed that she killed multiple people to stay out of her way and then stabbed Fiona 50 times. In the house and chased her down the street. When the cops came, Fiona's head was barely hanging on, and she was unrecognizable. Whewwww (brief flashback). Mary highlighted how secrets can damage different relationships, love, lust, and watering your own grass because, as many may know, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. This was by far one of my favorite books by Mary Monroe. #Book6of2025 #Whatsnext #BookWorm #ToyasBookClub
