Summary
In the latest hard-hitting YA novel by the New York Times bestselling author, sixteen-year-old identical twin girls must come to terms with their abusive father.

Kaeleigh and Raeanne are sixteen-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.

I didn’t love this book. It grossed me out. I stopped a couple times, but then decided to push through. I listened on 1.4x. The narration drove me nuts. I did enjoy the twist towards the end. That’s the only reason it got 3 stars from me.

I'm only half way through but it's a chore to keep going. maybe this book would be better with a different narrator? I'm not sure but listening to this narrator is borderline torture.

I found the Narrators voice annoying and was not impressed with the story. The whole sexual assault/incest storyline was disturbing. Found this to be a hard book to get through. Definitely not for me.

Was slow to begin and narration was annoying but halfway through was less so .Ending wasn’t what I expected so enjoyed it by then

The narration was great but the book was so predictable. Everything that happened. No surprises.

Predictable. I made it halfway through the book, and it was so grating and predictable I looked up the ending to see if I was right (I was) and called it a day.

It's ok. Similarities with The Uninvited, if you've ever seen it.

Disturbing and a bit depressing at first but also thought provoking and real. I had mixed emotions while listening but the further I got into the book the more intrigued and drawn in I became. Definitely worth the time!

Absolutely amazing, the ending made me sit up in my seat. Narration is top notch, she delivered the mood and feelings so well, I feel like I stayed listening to this book just because of the narration. P.S. If you are sensitive please do not listen to this book.

I found this book very disturbing and I became more and more depressed while reading ( listening) to it. If you are sensitive and has young kids this could probably impact your mood too.
