CHIME completely won me over, and I am in nonstop raptures about its genius. At best, I thought, I will like this book, but I won’t love it.īut oh, I loved it. A book couldn’t possibly live up to all that praise, I thought. Suffice it to say that I went into this book with equal parts anticipation and trepidation.

She’s had to live all 17 years of her life with the knowledge that she was responsible for her identical twin sister Rose’s brain defect and her Stepmother’s death. ![]()
