Identical 100-150

Raeanne goes to a party arriving with Mick but Mick starts to hang out with Madison so Raeanne goes and hooks up with some random guy in his car after smoking pot with him. She finds out his name's Ty and mainly just does it to get a reaction out of Mick. Kaeleigh talks about her inner child and how they she felt like her insides were sobbing. Her Dad creeps on her like usual after he gets home and drunk. Kaeleigh gets tired of Madison's non-sense so she makes a humiliating remark in front of the whole drama class and Ian makes Kaeleigh feel awful about it. She talks about her work at the nursing home and how the old lady, Greta, can tell something is very wrong that Kaeliegh won't let out. Mr. Lawler asks Kaeliegh to stay fter class and everyone including her sister, Raeanne, get jealous. At the end of these pages I found out about Kaeleigh's binge and puke method and that she has an eating disorder, and it's really the only thing she has control over in her life.

Shelby

This is my friend, Shelby. We cheered together freshman year but never became real close. We just recently started hanging out but I realized she's one of the few girls I like to hang out with. We always do fun things together and she's not what I expected at all. I think it just shows how you really should get to know someone first so you know who your true friends are. We even decided to start working out together since summer's coming up :) We'll see how long this lasts....

Identical 60-100

Raeanne starts to give off the impression that she has a problem with drinking and drugs. When comes home late at night after partying she still steals her father's alcohol and pills. She even does it alone just to not feel the pain. She talks about how jealous she is of her twin Kaeleigh since she gets all of the attention from there father. ( even thought it's unwanted attention ) Kaeleigh then got the lead role in the school play, Grease. Ian has always been in love with Kaeleigh but she can only think of him as a friend. Shelby is one of her friends too. Madison, a girl from school, gets upset about not making the lead role and hits Kaeleigh in the face during gym class with a volleyball. Kaeleigh's father won't let her get her license but it gives her too much freedom, but she's been old enough for months. There mother finally comes home for a day just to have the press come to her home (making herself look like a family type of person) and ask her questions and take pictures. There father made sure that both girls were dressed appropriate for the press conference and couldn't keep his eyes off of Kaeleigh.. There mother sticks around for a day but doesn't really pay much attention to them. She doesn't even admit that she misses them. Raeanne drinks a few bottles of wine with her mother and then decides to call Mick to sneak out and have some more fun.


People have told me this book is good so I'm going to continue reading just because i'm so curious about there father. I probably just haven't gotten to the good part yet!

I read the article "wired family" and my own family could definitely relate. My mother's phone is attached to her ear a majority of the day and when it's not she's watching movies on television. My younger brother is 14 and is never seen without his phone either. He's constantly playing video games or listening to his mp3 player. I'm even guilty myself, I use my cell phone quite often and on the computer using facbook/blogging way more than I should be. I don't think my families the only one, a lot of families these days are "wired."
