Never Have I Ever by Sara Shepard

Shepard, S. Never Have I Ever.  New York: HarperTeen, 2011. ISBN: 978-0061869723.  320 pgs. $10.98 (from amazon.com)

This is the sequel to Sara Shepard's first book called The Lying Game.   Imagine stepping into your twin sister's shoes - a little like Parent Trap - but not exactly because your sister is dead.  Sutton was murdered and Emma is trying to uncover her sister's murderer and it could have been anyone, or it could have been a close friend.  The problem is the murderer is out there and they are watching.  This book might have a little bit of paranoia in it, but who wouldn't be paranoid?

Recommended for teens, ages 14 and up.  The best part of this story was the flashbacks - I felt like I could really connect with Sutton/Emma.
