Where I Want to Be (2007)
“The moon had turned the water silver.
She watched them as they slept.
In certain light, from certain angles, people had said that she and Lily looked alike.
“Because we’re twins,” Lily would say proudly, giggling at the fun of being identical to her older sister. Jane had pretended to be annoyed, but she’d secretly liked the game of it, too.
By the time Lily had joined up with her at North Peace Dale High, it was no longer fun. Jane would be walking and hear Lily’s name called, and she’d dread ...the moment when she, Jane, had to turn around.
The kid who’d been hoping for her sister would drop back. Freeze. Mutter an apology, but Jane could always hear what their words didn’t confront.
Oh. That’s not the sister I wanted.
Because Lily was lovely. Lily was the sister everyone preferred. Her face was shaped like a heart, and her mouth curved up at the ends so she looked as if she were always smiling. On top of everything else, Lily had gotten all that beauty. Even Lily had seemed to know how unfair it was.MoreLess
