'One of the most original novels I've read for a long while. Great voices. Complex relationships. Just what I love to read.' - Melina Marchetta Caught in a dreamscape, mistaken for a killer ... will Alice find a way home? Three years ago, Alice's identical twin sister took a gun to school and killed seven innocent kids; now Alice wears the same face as a monster. She's struggling with her identity, and with life in the small Australian town where everyone was touched by the tragedy. Just as Alice thinks things can't get much worse, she encounters her sister on a deserted highway. But all is not what it seems, and Alice soon discovers that she has stepped into a different reality, a dream world, where she's trapped with the nightmares of everyone in the community. Here Alice is forced to confront the true impact of everything that happened the day her twin sister took a gun to school ... and to reveal her own secret to the boy who hates her most.

This was a very interesting read but certainly a story I had to persevere with as it got quite dull in some parts. However, don‘t read this if you‘re choosing based on the synopsis. The premise is super unique and has left me with questions for myself like “how would I face my monsters?” #youngadult #fiction #contemporary

Try as I can, I just couldn't get into this book. Had to call it a DNF and admit defeat...
