Description

Beneath their perfect family façade, twin sisters struggle alone with impossible circumstances and their own demons until they finally learn to fight for each other in this poignant tour de force from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins.

Sixteen-year-old Kaeleigh and Raeanne are identical down to the dimple. As daughters of a district court judge father and a politician mother, they are an all-American family…on the surface. Underneath run very deep and damaging secrets. What really happened in the car accident that Daddy caused? And why is Mom never home, always running far away to pursue some new dream?

The girls themselves have become hopelessly divided over the years. Sick of losing Daddy’s game of favorites, Raeanne turns to painkillers, alcohol, and sex to dull her pain her anger. Kaeleigh tries to be her father’s perfect little flower, but being the misplaced focus of his sexual attention has her seeking control anywhere she can—even if it means cutting herself and unhealthy binge and purge eating.

Secrets like the ones the twins are harboring are not meant to be kept—from each other or anyone else. Before long, it's obvious that neither sister can handle their problems alone, and one must step up to save the other, but the question is…who?

3,75* Identical konnte mich wirklich sehr gut unterhalten und die Geschichte war so faszinierend, dass ich sie in nur 2 Tagen ausgelesen habe. Leider wurde ich bereits gespoilert worum es in dem Buch gehen wird und das hat tatsächlich meine Leserfahrung etwas gedrückt. Daher konnte mich das Ende nicht so mitnehmen, wie es sonst vielleicht hätte. Trotzdem war es ein wirklich gutes Buch, dass mit sehr schweren Themen sich auseinander setzt.

Tw: sexual abuse, rape, substance abuse, eating disorders, gaslighting, self harm, abuse, suicide attempt, child pornography When I started the book, I felt very nauseous after the first chapter. (Obviously it was very well written.) I had a vague idea what it will be about, but I didn’t expect it to hit me that hard. I wondered if I would be able to keep going with the book, if it was smart for me to keep going. I did keep going, with the thought that I would stop if it got too much for me. In the end, I finished it. The story is told in dual pov by the twins. And while they are very different, their home life does twist them together in the worst possible way. It is anxiety inducing to follow this story, every step of the way. I did not see the twist coming at all and it got me so good, even tho I have known a story like that before, it didn’t cross my mind at all that it was what was happening in this one.
