Living in Miami, identical, Haitian-American twins Giselle and Isabelle Boyer have distinct interests and personalities. But underlying their individualities are two souls entwined. When the family suffers a devastating car accident, Isabelle is killed and Giselle struggles as she feels herself untwine from Isabelle. Giselle recognizes that she is a living physical reminder of the girl Isabelle was and will continue to grow into the woman Isabelle would have looked like. Old relationships transform into something different in this new reality, as does Giselle’s own perception of herself. A good read for older teen readers seeking a bit of introspection. --Anne Lotito-Schuh
