Won Heart: Diary of a Twin

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Won heart: Diary of a Twin 📚

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
I love reading memoirs. “Won Heart: Diary of a Twin” written by the author Vanessa Potgieter Elsden is the story of the author. Vanessa was born one of an identical twin. Her sister dominated in the younger years. Vanessa became submissive to her twin’s strong and demanding character. The barrier of disconnect between her sister and her widened.

Vanessa and her sister learnt about the periods from their father instead of their mother. The alcohol changed their father in the coming years. As the story progresses, readers would get to know about the tragedy that happened with Vanessa. She still hopes for everyone to find peace. Even though she was in pain, she could see the pain of the person who damaged her for years.

Read this story and you would be amazed by the strength of the author. The language used in the book is easy to follow. The readers would learn how difficult it is to form your own identity when they have a twin sibling. The story is well paced and one could feel the author’s emotions in her words. Add it to your tbr. It’s a memoir worth reading.

Love stories are bittersweet. Bittersweet by Sj McGarry is an intriguing short story that one could read in a single sitting. There are three main characters in the story: Jen and her mother Morgan look as if they are sisters. Morgan is divorced and Jen insists on her to live her life.

One day, Morgan met Jason Montgomery, a gorgeous businessman. Jason and Morgan fell for each other and came into a relationship. One day, Jason had to go for a business trip. What will happen after that? Read this book and get to know yourself.

The storyline is lovely and I was able to conclude it as I started reading it. But is it really the conclusion or will there be a sequel? The author’s storytelling skills are amazing and I loved this bittersweet story. It will make readers realize that our mother could do anything for us.
