One family - damaged by tragedy. A father who drinks too much; an absentee, professionally-driven mother. Twin girls left in the middle. Kaeleigh and Raeanne are identical twins - each with their own deep, dark secret. One daughter attracts the inappropriate attention of their damaged father. Th...
It's pretty hard to get into a story that is poem based when all you've ever read are paragraph based. Ellen Hopkins does a great job telling a story about dealing with your inner demons while trying to find love in a cruel world. Even though it's pretty hard to get into, the plot is good and the ch...

I loved that when one of the twins was finishing up, the other would pick up and the column of words on the side was exact.The ending surprised me. I'd noticed things not adding ...
Interesting format - don't let the page count scare you, as the book pages are much smaller than usual for a hardcover. The reason is to enable the very neat poetry format of each page - some of the poems are certain shapes (that work with the poem/plot), most are not, but the poems must be on their...
