Looking for a book about twins
Twin girls, one smart and treated well and one in special ed and a behavior problem. They switch roles, and then the special ed twin refuses to switch back. I think this book is only a couple years old.
Thanks, Debra |

V.C. Andrews [anything by her or Neiderman ] or Bari Wood ["Twins"] or Dean R. Koontz ["The Bad Place"]?

It sounds like Ann Morgan's Beside Myself, which I just read a month or so ago. Pretty good book.

Even if that's NOT it, it sounds like the kind of book I enjoy reading. I'm going to give this one a shot (even though it's on the high side, price-wise). Thank you! |

For future reference, you may like to know that there is a Name That Book sticky thread for asking this type of question in. Not that there's any harm in starting your own thread for it, of course!

Speaking of twins, another pretty good recent thriller-ish book is The Ice Twins, by S. K. Tremayne. Here, one of the identical twins dies--but which one?

Beside Myself looks interesting. I put in a request at my library. Thanks!
Another creepy, psychological twin thriller is Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger (author of The Time Traveller's Wife). |
