Identical by Ellen Hopkins

Kaeleigh and Raeanne are twins. Kaeleigh is the focus of her father's attention; Raeanne envies her sister. All Kaeleigh wants is to be able to fit comfortably into Ian's life, the boy she loves from school. Raeanne cannot help but find the attention she wants from boys and drugs.

I really liked this book. I love all of Ellen Hopkin's novels. I felt guilty for reading the book because of the sexual abuse, but it's a topic that needs discussing. If we just sweep it under the carpet, nothing is solved. And that's what Kaeleigh found out. The ending totally surprised me. I was not ready for that! But it had a nice twist to it, even though I hate twists, I still tolerate them.
