 | Twin Trouble  [13+] To those poor innocents who thought boys are a handful ...  |
| (5.0)| Greetings, Sonali! Oh my, this is so funny! I struggle with reading, writing and reviewing humorous stories because I have a tendency to take everything at face value and get confused or annoyed when there are subtleties like satire or parody - especially if it's pop culture related  This, however, was a delight to read. It reminds me of the Andrew Clements story Lost and Found... I used to enjoy his work when I was a kid, and that story taught me a lot about "twinsies" and the individual spirit of each person... Which kind of brings me to a point I hadn't considered immediately. I know it's a comedy and not to be taken too seriously, but at some point twins do get tired of being conflated. In fact, I know a pair of real life girl twins, Gia and Coco Reynolds. They were adorable twinsies when they were little, but as they got older, Gia wanted to be a "sweetie princess" and Coco started identifying more as the boyish "bull in the china shop," especially after Val, the family's only boy, was born. How much of this is influenced by the family, I don't know. I worry a lot about those kids... Sorry, I know you weren't looking for a celebrity gossip psychology lesson  Ok, I'll get down to brass tacks. I was so engaged in the rollicking adventures of those two! I was scared they'd end up getting arrested for stealing stuff or something crazy like that, with those absurd pranks. They needed a good scare to straighten them out, in my humble opinion. When they grew up and were getting married, I was even more worried that it would turn into an overdramatic "adult" soap opera, but you kept it cute and innocent all the way! My favorite kind of stories  It flows really well, following the natural timeline from birth to adulthood, and I had no trouble reading and enjoying it. Honestly, I can't think of a thing to suggest for improvement. If this were a full length children's novel, I would suggest adding more depth and distinction between the twins, especially as they come of age, but that's just me overthinking and broadening the theme beyond its intended scope. This story serves the purpose well, brightening our day with a lighthearted and ultimately positive look at a pair of twins going through life with love and enthusiasm, using their unique position to their advantage without causing anyone undue harm. Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing     My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
