There were moments when I was convinced I'd give this book two stars. Near the end, I was tempted to give it four. My emotions and reactions to it fluctuated quite a bit, so I settled on three.I've been curious about Hopkins for a while but haven't ever committed to reading her because I'm not all t...

Actual Rating: 1 and a half starsI was kind and rounded up.I finished this book last night and I'm still not entirely certain what I want to say about it or how I want to rate it. I wanted to sleep on it, mull it over - I'm still at a loss. So, I'm just going to start writing and hope that whateve...

Wow...seriously, just wow! This book really gets into your head! It was even more mind-blowing that I originally thought! Not only was it beautiful written, but it was such an intense story. The topic was intense, the writing was intense, and the characters were intense. I think this book is going t...

We meet Kaeleigh and Raeanne, identical twins. Their life is twisted. Although their parents are married, they couldn't be more far apart ever ...

Well, I struggled with the book more than any of my previous Ellen Hopkins reads. While some of her other stories seem more like "this could happen to anyone", this one was a rare and horrible tale. It tells the stories of identical twins - Raeanne and Kaleigh. Their father is a judge and their m...

Identical was, by far, the most difficult Hopkins novel to read (so far - I still have a couple to read). In all her books, Hopkins tackles tough situations with rawness and realism. As a parent, this one hit hard. At times I didn't want to continue, but did because I wanted to see resolution - I wa...
