| Joshua and Jaime are identical twins, but with some slight
appearance differences that those close to them were able to
tell them apart. Their personalities were their biggest
difference, Jaime was sweet and easygoing with a smile that
put everyone at ease and Joshua was quieter and much more
reserved. One thing the twins shared besides their
appearance were emotions for each other that went well past
the normal feelings of brotherly love. Once the twins
revealed their true feelings to each other, the risk of
family scorn and social backlash wasn't enough to stop them
from acting upon the feelings they both had held back from
for so long.
Torn was a story about two people so in
sync with one another that if they weren't twins that type
of connection with a stranger would be frightening. Jaime
and Joshua needed to be with each, no other person would
have fit. As taboo a subject as incest is the relationship
between Joshua and Jaime was a beautiful one. Having the
type of relationship these two embarked on is difficult,
there are struggles within themselves to contend with and
the struggles of how others will view them, especially
family. If you are okay with reading about twincest, which
I am, I'm certain you will Torn just as much
as I did. |
