Summary: By medical standards, sixteen-year-old Janine Palmer dies on the day of her automobile accident. When her spirit travels to the "other side," however, she is told that it isn't her time to die, and is sent back to live out her life. When she awakens from her coma, though, she discovers that she hasn't come back alone. There is someone else inside her mind. The voice in Janine's head claims to be the ghost of Lenore, Janine's twin sister, who drowned twelve years earlier. Lenore blames her own death on Janine and is determined to live again in her sister's body.

Review: I have the weird experience of not actually knowing if I've read this one before. I think I have, as parts of it seemed very familiar, and it's exactly the type of book I'd have gotten out when perusing the YA shelves of the library when I was a teen, but there were too many unfamiliar things it in too, so I can't say for sure if I'm not just confusing it with one of the many similar books.

Anyway, as you can see from the rating I wasn't too impressed. It's one of those books that started out well but ended much too abruptly. I'd like to have seen another 10-20 pages to tie up the last threads. It was a quick read though - only took me about an hour to read.
