IDENTICAL

Author: Ellen Hopkins
Genre: YA Fiction, Standalone
Published: 2008
Personal Rating: 3.5/5 (good)
Yearly Count: 54


Identical 16-year-old twins, Kaeleigh and Raeanne, draw us into their lives of abuse and neglect.

Thus far, this is my least favorite of Hopkins books; however, it was still good. At times, I felt very distant from these girls - I just didn't "get" some of their behavior. I am not personally acquainted with their type of anguish, so I'm deeming that responsible for my lack of connection with them. Although, the book as a whole did have my attention. I was curious as to what was going to happen next and somewhat excited to pick it back up.
