No spoilers given, but I loved the sudden twist and the "aaaaah" moment where the viewer realises what has been happening, as the first half is re-told from a different perspective.
The film builds to a gripping conclusion and has several more twists and surprises along the way, keeping the viewer guessing.
One gripe is the music - loud blaring horn used to build up tension becomes very annoying very quickly.

I didn't like the style of writing; it just didn't have an easy flow and was just plain odd. As was the story. After probably the fourth chapter I was thinking, "What the hell is going on?!" but continued to read thinking it might pick up and I'd understand it a little more. But nope, after the eighth chapter I just started scanning bits and the plot turned even weirder so I just decided to DNF because I had no idea what the hell was going on and the writing style didn't gel with me at all.
One hell of a strange story.

One minute I liked Twitch, the next not so much. And then it would be repeated. I just found it all a little odd but at the same time I couldn't stop reading it. Hence the three star rating.
That ending had me in tears! And then that extra little bit has made me need to read the next one. WTF? You can't make me sad and then surprise me like that, it isn't a good look on me lol.

The family unit was just...strange--at least Alex's parent's were anyway. Do people really react like that? Her sisters were okay but also a little wooden. The secondary characters also didn't really sit well with me.
It could all do with the fact that I'm really into reading my urban fantasy/paranormal romance books right now and deviated off track since I'm starting to run low, but i just don't think I was in the right headspace for contemporary romances.
It didn't draw me in and i was continually bored throughout.
