Tangled with the Twins truly has so much potential but fell somewhat flat for me. I have read most of Cupak’s books that she has written and know what her potential can be. I will be honest and say that this one felt rushed and needed some work on certain areas. I know the author is listing this as an inter-connected standalone, but the way it is written, I feel that anyone who has not read the Alexa duet, won’t capture these characters or their story correctly. I know that I am in the minority on this, but it’s just my opinion.

Tangled with the Twins is Jeremy, Jessa and Becca’s story. If you read the Alex Duet, then you will know who these three are. If you didn’t, you’ll get an idea of how they are connected to that duet, but I am not sure that you get an understanding of who they are as individuals and came to be where they are today. I feel that development of Jessa, Becca and Jeremy characters was very much glazed over in this book and was too dependent upon knowing their story in the Alexa Duet to fully grasp who they are.

Jeremy and the twins, Jessa and Becca, have had this unconventional relationship between the three of them but it’s always worked out well for them. But as the years passed, things started to shift. Again, where the shift started, happened in the duet and readers who didn’t read that, have to fill in the gaps as to what happened then to see where they are now. Cupak tries to explain briefly what happened but I feel that’s an important part of the story and hurts the connection to these characters.

About the story – all three characters are finally figuring out who they are and what the want out of life. However, lack of communication and lots of secrets that are made worse by lies is what throws a wrench into all their lives. This plot works out well as they all go through these changes in their lives. The underlying plot that involves Jeremy’s job is a continuation of the Alexa duet and readers will be confused on that part if they did not read the duet. There is a lot that goes on in this book; there is not a dull moment which helps keeps the reader invested in the story, but may also confuse new readers. The story is told from all 3 POVs so that definitely helps readers get a better understanding of each character and their thoughts.

Overall, I did enjoy the story, but I also read the duet so I wasn’t too lost reading this. There is a lot that goes on and a lot that needs fleshed out in order for all readers to truly enjoy this book. If the book wasn’t considered an inter-connected standalone, I can see this book working out fine the way it’s currently written. However, there are too many assumptions that need to be made for readers who have not read the duet to understand the dynamics of these characters, their relationship and how it all ties together. If the author wants this to be an inter-connected standalone, the story needs to better written and the focus solely on Jeremy, Jessa and Becca with glimpses of Alexa and Ethan.
