Story
Vanessa Wye was 15 years old when she first had sex with her English teacher. She is now 32 and the teacher, Jacob Strane, has just been accused of sexual abuse by another former student of his. Vanessa is horrified by this news, because she is quite certain that the relationship she had with Strane wasn’t abuse. It was love. She’s sure of that. But now, in 2017, in the midst of allegations against powerful men, she is being asked to redefine the great love story of her life - her great sexual awakening - as rape.

Summary
When the girls were 9, Daddy turned to his beloved Kaeleigh in ways a father never should. Raeanne needs to numb the pain of not being Daddy's favorite; Kaeleigh wants to do everything she can to feel something normal, even if it means cutting herself and vomiting after every binge.
How Kaeleigh and Raeanne figure out just what it means to be whole again when their entire world has been torn to shreds is the guts and heart of this powerful, disturbing, and utterly remarkable book.
Critic reviews
Hopkins's verse is not only lean and sinuous, it also demonstrates a mastery of technique. ( Publishers Weekly)

It is hard for me to believe anyone with more than a 10th grade education would find this book tolerable. After forty-five minutes I had to quit.

I hated the book. Did not finish it. There was too much sex in it,plus I did not like the details between the daughter and father. On the dark side of things. It was a waste of a credit.

Dark, Dark, Dark
Ellen Hopkins is a talented writer, but this is a slow, dark story. It is narrated very well by Laura Flanagan who portrays both sisters with distinctly different personalities. It is very contemporary and the sisters are dealing with issues faced by today’s high schoolers as well as facing challenges which have been around since time began. The story is gripping, but oh so dark.

Wanted to love it, but it was just obvious for me
I heard good things, wanted a great twist to end a great story! But unfortunately you knew pretty much from the start what was going on and it just wasn't as original as I had hoped.

SO OBVIOUS; Ending coulda been rad but fell short.
Initially the description completely gave it away, then the very first line sealed the deal. The rest of the book had SO many "hints" which were completely unnecessary, as the premise was so obvious. There were ways that Raeanne's name could've been addressed more, which would've had me second guessing my (correct) hypothesis. [☆☆☆ SPOILER: It would've been a really cool book if it turned out that some of the other characters besides Raeanne were alters of Kaeleigh too. Even fringe characters like Madison, Hannah, Manuela and Gretta - could all have been signifying parts of herself, some of which PERHAPS she was aware, although Raeanne might've been to painful for her to access. Or even if she had another, 3rd sister who survived too, so the family could've addressed them with plurality. Or even better.... if she was a triplet, and there was a third sister, who either survived the accident and was real, or didn't and was another alter.] Therefore, I had to give this book a low rating. Had my SPOILER concept been utilized, I'd have enjoyed the book a lot more.

AMAZING!!!
Ellen Hopkins has done it again!!! AMAZING! Some might be disturbed, say it's really graphic but these stories happen in real life. I would know, addiction, sexual abuse by a parent, bulimia, parental neglect these are all things that need light shined on. I would say this is for an older reader/s. Children shouldn't read this but for teens/adults it's a must read if you like Ellen Hopkins previous work. The author, she made it all come to life, by using different tones to portray different characters throughout the book. Overall I would say it was a very interesting, deep, amazing plot twisting story just wait till you get to the end. 😊 Thank you Ellen Hopkins for all the amazing, beautiful, deep, harsh, and real books. Thank you for helping me get through my demons by giving me something amazing to read to give me strength to keep going. You're amazing!
