"This book is many things at once, all of them engrossing. It’s a book where teenagers think in almost indulgently poetic language while still sounding genuinely adolescent. It’s two separate but equally intoxicating love stories. It’s the story of Noah at 13, falling for the magic boy next door. And it’s the story of his twin sister, Jude, three years later, haunted by her mom’s spiteful ghost and barely speaking with the twin who used to feel like half of her own self. And, most of all, it’s the mystery of what happened to tear Noah and Jude apart, and what — if anything — can bring them back together again."
