From Goodreads:
A girl takes over her twin sister’s identity in this emotionally charged page-turner about the complicated bond between sisters. Ella and Maddy Lawton are identical twins. Ella has spent her high school years living in popular Maddy’s shadows, but she has never been envious of Maddy. In fact, she’s chosen the quiet, safe confines of her sketchbook over the constant battle for attention that has defined Maddy’s world. When—after a heated argument—Maddy and Ella get into a tragic accident that leaves her sister dead, Ella wakes up in the hospital surrounded by loved ones who believe she is Maddy. Feeling responsible for Maddy’s death and everyone’s grief, Ella makes a split-second decision to pretend to be Maddy. Soon, Ella realizes that Maddy’s life was full of secrets. Caught in a web of lies, Ella is faced with two options—confess her deception or live her sister’s life.
Why I’m Waiting: It takes quite an interesting story to make me want to pick up a straight-up mystery. But this one sounds completely fascinating! In high school, I had friends who were twins, and they traded places a lot- one was better at math than the other, so one would take all the math tests, and so on. Their friends and family could tell them apart, but acquaintances (and apparently teachers) could not. I always thought it was funny, because I knew who was in my classes with me even if no one else did. So for a book to take this kind of turn just intrigues me! I need to know how this is all pulled off, and what exactly was up with Maddy.
This looks so good! I love the whole idea of it–I’ve always been interested in books where someone pretends to be another person. Let’s hope this book is done well!
Wow, this one is new to me, but it sounds amazing!! Thanks for introducing it to me! Great pick! 🙂
