"I decided to read this book because one of my favorite authors, Veronica Roth, had read it. This book was faced paced and hooked me from the beginning. In this world, every body is born with two souls and by the time you're around 5, one of the souls disappears. Eva and Addie are two souls intertwined in one body. However, they are in high school and no one knows that Eva exists. Eva is weak, she can't move her body. Everyone only thinks that Addie exists. When Halley, Addie's friend, figures out that Eva is still there, she is determined to help her become stronger. However, if the officials find out, Eva and Addie will be sent to a hospital for treatment. I highly suggest reading this book!!!!"
