As all of Ellen Hopkins books have been for me, I couldn't not put this one down. I usually read her books in one setting, so it helps to have a little bit of time carved out if you are going to start any of them. This book follows identical twins that are dealing with the aftermath of a horrible accident, and the devastasting effects of their father's sexual abuse. There is a twist at the end that I felt like I should have seen coming, but didn't. I love her books in that way. They are addictive and feel like an addiction would...you have to have it, yet hate that you do. If you have never read Ellen Hopkins, you definitely need to give her books a try. Their sparse poetry form is amazing. They are like works of art that are so hideous you need to look, but are sickened by at the same time. She is a one of a kind author for sure. Definitely would not put this book in a middle school collection though (or any of hers in my opinion).
