***** Five angsty and heartbreaking stars!This is a heartbreaking tale of one woman and two very different men who look alike.  At first after reading the blurb I was expecting a very twisted sort of love triangle going on and if I am being host I'm not a massive fan of them.  However, this book surprised me and I can honestly say its been one of the most engaging reads I've had in a while.We meet Meadow who we quickly realise has only two stable and supportive presences in her life, twin brothers Justin and Jared.  They too have their issues and you sense that their own lives aren't perfect either but for years they forge on the three of them against the world.It is evident that both boys feel something for Meadow and what follows is the sometimes tragic, sad and most heart wrenching story of Meadow's life and how both boys are present with her at various times over the course of a few years.You can tell that each of them in their own way loves her and just how various series of events mould how Meadow's life path flows.  Yes, she does have a relationship with both twins but loosely the first half of the book sets the scene as to how she ends up with one twin and tries to forge a life for herself and he second half of the book continues with the second twin making his presence known (I won't name then as I think this will spoil the story so I urge you to buy and read to find out!)Meadow never really had a fighting chance to be happy owing to the interference of the boys father and ultimately her life path is paved by his actions in the background and never truly through her own choices.  I was eager to read on though to find out whether she finally makes a choice as to her own feelings and breaks free from the mouth and actions of their father.I loved the dual perspective of the storytelling and the love triangle of sorts never felt frustrating or annoying as I had expected.  Meadow was a solid character and throughout out I had empathy for her and Justin and Jared were very well represented as being very different characters and honestly I never felt like they were twins, nor did I ever get the impression that she felt one was replacing the other.The plot was engaging and had a couple of small twists at the end which left me satisfied and also the ending was the right one for me!I would highly recommend this!
