This book is diabolical. It’s nuts how good it was. I started it before the sun rose, and literally inhaled it the rest of the day. I had to make myself go on a walk, make myself make my toddler and myself lunch, make myself step away from the book just for a *minute* because it was all consuming. The way Janelle Brown writes is perfect. This book didn’t feel like a regular old thriller. It didn’t feel like fiction. It didn’t feel like fluff. It was intelligent, poetic, dark and twisty, with a sharp slap a little over half way through. I have been a fan of Brown’s books, so I felt like I knew what I was settling down with, but I truly had no idea what this book was. This. This book is going to be buzzy. This book is going to be huge.

I discoveredJanelle Brown’s Pretty Things a month or so into lockdown and it was the only book I picked up during that time that completely distracted me from current events and gave me the mental break I so badly needed. In her latest book, I’ll Be You, I was just as sucked in (although thankfully the world is not quite as terrifying as it was back then). The storyline is completely different and yet just as thrilling and layered and beautifully told. I cannot recommend this book, and this author, highly enough!

I felt like I was watching a Netflix movie.
Sam and Elli were two halves of a perfect whole: Gorgeous identical twins whose parents sometimes couldn’t even tell them apart. They fell asleep to the sound of each other’s breath at night, holding hands in the dark. And once Hollywood discovered them, they became B-list child TV stars, often inhabiting the same role. But as adults their lives have splintered. After leaving acting, Elli reinvented herself as the perfect homemaker: Married to a real-estate lawyer, in a house two blocks from the beach. Meanwhile, Sam has never recovered from her failed Hollywood career, or from her addiction to the pills and booze that have propped her up for the last fifteen years. Sam hasn't spoken to her sister since her destructive behavior finally drove a wedge between them. So when her father calls out of the blue, Sam is shocked to learn that Elli’s life has been in turmoil: Her husband moved out, and Elli just adopted a two-year-old girl. Now she’s stopped answering her phone and checked in to a mysterious spa in Ojai. Is her sister just decompressing, or is she in trouble?
I loved it's dialogues, tension, twists and narration. It was really really good.
I think it will become a good Netflix movie.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for giving me an advanced copy.

This book is so good. It’s absolutely a twisty thriller that will leave you wondering the entire book. The ending is equally satisfying as the beginning. I highly recommend this book.

Wow, fan freaking tastic. I'm so glad I got to read this early. I love anything twinsies. This is my sex nd book and love the twists. That's for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
