The Divided Twin by M. Billiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I fell in love with these twins’ stories when I first read about what happened with Branson and I felt he was not only misunderstood. My heart ached for him as I got through that first read. Coming from a family where mental illness is present, that book had me hooked just as much as the second.
When you meet both twins, who are away at separate colleges in different states, no less but you’re concerned with Branson who has to fight schizophrenia. You’re concerned with what Tara’s sickness can do for his mental health and how it will create new choices for both twins.
I loved how this book was written as much as the first. You also find each brother battling their own emotions in their own ways when they’re hit unexpectedly with a life-altering illness like cancer. This story had my heart aching for the twins as they’re going through the grieving process with one another and battling crippling mental illness all at once. You can’t help but want to jump through the pages of the book to help the characters on their way to survive it all but you can’t which leaves you feeling helpless and upset at a fictional book. Great read and well-written.
