Three Black Swans by Caroline Cooney


When sixteen-year-old Missy Vianello decides to try to convince her classmates that her cousin Claire is really her long-lost identical twin, she has no idea that the results of her prank will be so life-changing. This book is filled with surprise after surprise. I will give away that the two girls introduced at the begining of the story are actually sisters who have been told they're twins, however this is not the big surprise of the story because it's pretty obvious, at least to me, that they are. What does follow is a mystery that begins to unravel and plot twists that catch me unawares. It's a slightly disturbing story of love, parenting, and family life. I does tend to drag in some parts, but I found it worth it to push through and get to the resolution.
