Sasha Stone knows her place—first-chair clarinet, top of her class, and at the side of her Oxford-wearing boyfriend. She’s worked her entire life to ensure her path to Oberlin Conservatory as a star musician is perfectly paved.
But suddenly there’s a fork in the road in the shape of Isaac Harver. Her body shifts toward him when he walks by, and her skin misses his touch even though she’s never known it. Why does he act like he knows her so well—too well—when she doesn’t know him at all?
Sasha discovers that her by-the-book life began by ending the chapter of another: the twin sister she absorbed in the womb. But that doesn’t explain the gaps of missing time in her practice schedule, or the memories she has of things she certainly never did with Isaac.
Armed with the knowledge that her heart might not be hers alone, Sasha must decide what she’s willing to do—and who she’s willing to hurt—to take it back.

I Just....yeah review below 👀

This is easily one of the most bonkers stories I have ever read. Heads up this book has MANY TRIGGERS.

Nothing I thought would happen, happened. Like not even fucking close and Im good with that because this book kept me on edge the entire time. Listening to audio at work had me just droppin shit because after awhile every page was a major W.T.F
The basic tho-
Sasha, Heath and Issac. Your average messy teen romance? Nooooope, more like a crazy warped "triangle"... or maybe square.

This Darkness Mine takes the evil twin sister trope to a whole new level. It left me so shaken and disturbed. The imagery is gross but understandable when you fully accept the craziness of the entire plot. 

Sasha. It is so amazing how Mindy took this character that I had actually gained some sympathy for and just flipped it all upside down and LITERALLY INSIDE OUT.

God this would make a crazy fun film.
