VERDICT This should be a primary purchase for any library with patrons who love melodramatic mysteries and romance.” SLJ, STARRED AUDIO REVIEW "Trisha Leaver crafts a powerful and haunting novel that will keep you up long after you read the last page. Full of twists and turns and FEELS, this book questions how far a person will go for her family . . . even if it means losing herself." - Lynne Matson, author of NIL The ExcerptI don’t remember her room being so cold. Even snuggled into her sweater the chill seeps in, settling into my bones like a whisper from beyond. That’s where I will sleep tonight...in Maddy’s bed, surround by her scent. Mom wants to change the sheets, but I won’t let her. The hint of vanilla mingled with Alex’s dark cologne brings a little piece of my sister back to me each night. The only thing I have left of my old life is a few sketches and a poor replica of the friendship bracelet Josh gave me. It took me days to re-create, to weave the strings into the right pattern. It’s not perfect, but it goes with me everywhere, a tiny reminder of who I once was and what Josh still means to me. The real bracelet is gone, cut off and tossed aside just like my life. I want to make peace with my choice, but Maddy’s secret haunts me. The dark pieces of her life are hid- den in the back of her closet for no one but me to see. She’s not who I thought she was, but that doesn’t matter. Maddy was my sister, my twin sister, and I’ll do anything for her, including losing myself. The TeasersThere was a fear behind his words, a fear that I would change my mind and reveal a secret I didn't even know.” “I am already gone. I died that night on the side of the road with my sister.” About Trisha LeaverTrisha Leaver lives on Cape Cod with her husband, three children, and one rather disobedient black lab.

This book looks so interesting! I'd love to read it because I think it's intriguing to see what comes of her taking over her sister's identity! Neat!

The reason I would like to read it is because it seems like a great read. Sounds sad, but intriguing as well. Have added it to my TBR list and can't wait to read.
