“Different as night and day, sisters Nick and Dara are practically joined
at the hip…Oliver’s characterizations and background
stories are well developed and compulsively readable. The relationship
between Nick and Dara drives the plot and is very realistic. The twist
the author incorporates at the end is dramatic without being absurd and
was completely unexpected. Recommend to teens looking for a well-written
work with a juicy ending. They will not be disappointed.”
