Idenitcal by Ellen Hopkins: This book is truly amazing. Written in free-verse, it's about identical twins, Kaeleigh and Raeanne, that have some major family issues. After their father, a judge addicted to Oxycotin and alcohol, causes an accident, their mother, a campaigning politician, becomes very distant, which results in Kaeleigh being molested at the age of 8.
POV switches back and forth between the two, and how all of this effects both of them. Raeanne feels daddy's giving Kaeleigh all his love and attention and acts out by having sex and doing drugs, while Kaeleigh fights with feeling uncapable of loving the one person she ever wanted to.
They're complete opposites. Raeanne being cold, aggressive, in-control, having sex, doing drugs, and purges. Kaeleigh being sweet, passive, submissive, scared of sex, and binges.
It's a great book. And I hope you all read it. :D
