Summary:
In the latest hard-hitting YA novel by the brand new York Times bestselling author, sixteen-year-old identical twin girls must comprehend their abusive father.
Kaeleigh and Raeanne are sixteen-year-old identical twins, the daughters of an area court judge dad and politician mom running for Congress. Everything on the surface of their lives appears Norman Rockwell ideal, but underneath run deep and harmful secrets.
Kaeleigh may be the good girl-her father’s great flower, something she has tried so hard to be since she was 9 and he started sexually abusing her. She slashes herself and vomits after every binge, desperate to feel something regular. Raeanne uses painkillers, medicines, alcoholic beverages, and sex to numb the pain of not getting Daddy’s favorite. Both ladies must figure out how to become whole, but how can they when their world has been torn to shreds?
Writing in her feature narrative poetry design, Ellen Hopkins shows once again how good she knows today’s teens and the issues that matter to them.
