In the latest hard-hitting YA novel by the New York Timesbestselling author, 16-yearold identical twin girls must come to terms with their abusive father. I am looking forward to reading more of her books. Many may not like the issues (and, no doubt, she is or will be often challenged in libraries) the emotions and language are genuine.

Turning to drugs, alcohol and sex, rarely saying NO (even when she should). Making others happy, acquiescing to the needs of others, not saying NO. Kaeleigh deals with her issues by trying to be a "good girl". It also has a surprising twist and a hopeful ending. It deals with incest/sexual abuse, drug abuse, alcoholism, cutting and mental illness. Identical is the story of Kaeleigh and Raeanne, mirror image identical twins. ![]()
