The book tells the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons, identical twins from Haverfordwest, who ceased speaking to adults and retreated into their own private fantasy world. The girls drifted into petty crime, committed acts of vandalism, and eventually wound up in Broadmoor.Most of the stories took place in the United States — specifically Malibu — and centered around young, attractive people who committed grisly crimes. While only one novel — titled The Pepsi-Cola Addict, about a young teenager seduced by his high school teacher — made it to print, that didn’t stop June and Jennifer Gibbons from penning a dozen other tales. You don't read The Pepsi-Cola Addict because you think it's going to be good. You know it won't be.
