Identical by Ellen Hopkins

Today's review is on the book by Ellen Hopkins, Identical. The description on the book jacket: "Kaeleigh and Raeanne are 16-year-old identical twins, the daughters of a district court judge father and politician mother running for Congress. Everything on the surface of their lives seems Norman Rockwell perfect, but underneath run deep and damaging secrets. Kaeleigh is the good girl-her father's perfect flower, something she has tried so hard to be since she was nine and he started sexually abusing her. She cuts herself and binge eats, desperate to feel something normal. Raeanne uses painkillers, drugs, alcohol, sex, and purging as an outlet to numb the pain of not being Daddy's favorite. Both girls must figure out how to become whole, but how can they when their world has been torn to shreds?" 

This book was something I found quite emotional but it was very capturing. It has a bit of detail that people should be cautious of when reading (just to warn you if you decide to read it). I liked this book and enjoyed reading it. Again, Ellen Hopkins books are ones that I do really enjoy.
