YA
In alternating chapters, Vail and Avi take on the personae of fraternal twins with nothing in common except their disdain for each other. As screwball comedies go, this one is consistently entertaining, and the dual narrators remain sympathetic and genuine-sounding even as the plot's convolutions reach absurd levels.
