Haunted Sister
By medical standards, sixteen-year-old Janine Palmer dies on the day of her automobile accident. When her spirit travels to the "other side," however, she is told that it isn't her time to die, and is sent back to live out her life. When she awakens from her coma, though, she discovers that she hasn't come back alone. There is someone else inside her mind. The voice in Janine's head claims to be the ghost of Lenore, Janine's twin sister, who drowned twelve years earlier. Lenore blames her own death on Janine and is determined to live again in her sister's body.
Now the two girls must vie for one body. Can Janine be sure that her twin is really inside her, or is she simply going crazy?
I have the weird experience of not actually knowing if I've read this one before. I think I have, as parts of it seemed very familiar, and it's exactly the type of book I'd have gotten out when perusing the YA shelves of the library when I was a teen, but there were too many unfamiliar things it in too, so I can't say for sure if I'm not just confusing it with one of the many similar books.Anyway, as you can see from the rating I wasn't too impressed. It's one of those books that started out

I liked the idea that her dead twin sister had invaded her body and started controlling her life. i liked the manner in which it was written, but by the end the book i felt started getting a bit repetitive and boring.

Janine and Lenore are twins with very different personalities: Janine, always the "good one" and Lenore, always in trouble. Twelve years ago, Lenore drown in an accident with Janine near by. Janine has lived with the guilt ever since.Now, Janine is in high school. She and her friend, Scott, decide to skip class and head for the beach.

This book was interesting. While I figured out the ending, not the why it happened. I wasn't sure if I agreed with the actions of the parents or if I think a four year old would react as she did; although, it was a very traumatic event. I thought it could have explored the issue of good verses bad. It seemed to say that risk-taking is bad; I disagree. I also disagree that Lenore would have acted so rebelliously as a teen because she was a little adventurous as a child. I have had kids and think
This isn't written well. At all. I feel like this story could have been so, so much more. The story is so different from anything I've ever read. I liked the relationship between Janine and Scott. I liked Rafe's part in things. But it wasn't believable in any sense. What Mother isn't concerned when her teenage daughter wants to be called by her dead twins name? Uh, that's not normal and I don't care what anyone says. Nope, no dead twin, no alive twin, nothing like that in my world but I can
