Description
Identical twins Kaeleigh and Raeanne appear to have it all—privileged backgrounds, successful parents, and perfect lives on the surface. But beneath their carefully maintained facades lie devastating secrets that have shaped their adolescence in profound and destructive ways. Ellen Hopkins explores the devastating impact of family trauma through the parallel narratives of two sisters coping with abuse and dysfunction in starkly different ways, one through self-harm and the other through substance abuse. This powerful and unflinching novel examines how trauma fractures identity and the long journey toward healing and wholeness. Hopkins' signature verse narrative style brings raw emotional authenticity to this difficult but ultimately transformative story about survival, sisterhood, and the possibility of recovery.
