Kaeleigh and Raeanne are 16-year-old identical twins, the daughters of a district court judge father and politician mother running for Congress. Everything on the surface of their lives seems Norman Rockwell perfect, but underneath run deep and damaging secrets. Kaeleigh is the good girl—her father's perfect flower, something she has tried so hard to be since she was nine and he started sexually abusing her. She cuts herself and vomits after every binge, desperate to feel something normal. Raeanne uses painkillers, drugs, alcohol, and sex to numb the pain of not being Daddy's favorite. Both girls must figure out how to become whole, but how can they when their world has been torn to shreds? Writing in her characteristic narrative poetry style, Ellen Hopkins shows once again how well she knows today's teens and the issues that matter to them. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Threw me for a loopI was intriguid by the concept, twins each telling their side of daily life through high school. Mom is a politician with high aspirations. Dad is a judge. They are a family in the spotlight. The entire story is told through poety. There are some fantastic examples of many different types of poetry. I never saw the plot twist coming, which is rare for me. I thought this book could be added to my collection at school, but the portrayal of sex and drug use would prevent me from sharing ... Read More Rating:  - I am in aweI have read one other Hopkins book and was very much drawn in. But this book is a whole different story. It's deep. It's dirty. There were times I wanted to stop reading because I can't handle incestuous situations. It's just hard for me to deal with. But this book keeps you in. And I was completely surprised by the ending. Call it ignorance or what have you. I thought the book was brilliant. Maybe not for younger readers but for high school and up...great read. Rating: - Simply, AMAZING!Simply and amazing book. A must read! I can't wait for the next one!!!! Hope it comes soon. Rating:  - artgirl1this book is way over rated it is a little strong and was a waste of my time to read but if youwanted to read a weird strange book this would be right for you well ok i might have went over bored it is an ok book but it was not right for me Rating: - AMAZING!i thought the book was well written and VERY powerful. there were times when i was just so sucked into the book that i didn't want to stop reading. there are some parts where its very graphic and disturbing to read. the book involves cutting, some pretty explicit sex scenes, molestation, drinking, bulimia, and pill popping. so be warned if you're not ready to read about somethings i listed. you may not want to read it.
