I'll Be You: A Novel

Sam and Elli were inseparable identical twins who shared everything, including a modest rise as B-list child TV stars. Adulthood pulls them in opposite directions, with Elli building a seemingly perfect life while Sam struggles with addiction. Years after cutting contact, Sam is jolted back into her sister’s world when Elli vanishes following a string of unsettling changes. Sam goes searching for Elli, only to uncover a trail of lies that forces her to confront the darker truths of their shared past. I LOVE A MISSING PERSON TROPE 😭 And I love a Janelle Brown book! 🫶🏽 It goes without saying this book is perfect. Estranged twin sisters has been a common trope lately but I’m not mad about it. I’ll Be You had a strong plot, character development, and some jaw dropping moments. The exploration of identity, addiction, ambition, and sisterhood adds real emotional weight, making the suspense feel personal. As always, Brown delivers. No crumbs. No notes. Just pure excellence.

I liked it, but didn’t love it. It’s hard because I just want to compare it to her other book, which I loved when I read it!

A little slow, but interesting story
