Terri's Thought
**I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. The expected publication date is October 6th 2015**
I was intrigued about the concept of this story as being a twin I enjoy reading anything that features twins in it. Also, I have a rather odd fascination with stories centralized around mental hospitals. There are so many possibilities with the direction a story can take.
While I was able to figure out where the plot was going to take me right from the get go I was still invested in how it would take me there. With Alice struggling to remember what happened and battling her need for revenge it made for an interesting story.
I can't go too much in to the plot as it would reveal some spoilers so I won't. I will just say that I enjoyed this story and the emotional battle that Alice was going through. I also liked the supporting character of Chase who assisted Alice to figure things out.
This is a good story for the YA audience that is just a little different than the usual stories filling the shelves these days. I would recommend
