Beautiful Lies by Jessica Warman

Rachel and Alice are an extremely rare kind of identical twins-so identical that even their aunt and uncle, whom they've lived with since their parents passed away, can't tell them apart. But the sisters are connected in a way that goes well beyond their surfaces: when one experiences pain, the other exhibits the exact same signs of distress. So when one twin mysteriously disappears, the other immediately knows something is wrong-especially when she starts experiencing serious physical traumas, despite the fact that nobody has touched her. As the search commences to find her sister, the twin left behind must rely on their intense bond to uncover the truth. But is there anyone around her she can trust, when everyone could be a suspect? And ultimately, can she even trust herself? Master storyteller Jessica Warman will keep readers guessing when everything they see-and everything they are told-suddenly becomes unreliable in this page-turning literary thriller.

Goodreads Summary

Warman has written a great Young Adult psychological thriller.  Alice and Rachel are twins, but twins that are so identical that no one can tell them apart.  They have a special bond, too.  If one is hit, the other feels pain.  This phenomenon is how Alice knows that her sister is in danger.  Rachel disappears and Alice begins experiencing pain.  Who can Alice trust?  She keeps her sister’s disappearance a secret and searches for the abductor.
    Beautiful Lies confused me at times and I am still figuring out the story right now, even though I finished the book.  Despite this, I definitely enjoyed reading.  I loved the plot twists and turns and reading about the bond between Alice and Rachel.  This book will be loved by teen readers and anyone who likes mystery.
    The only complaint I had while reading is that the narrator is not someone you can trust.  I will not spoil any of the novel, but thought that readers should be warned.  Alice is not a girl who always speaks the truth.  Beautiful Lies was a wild ride and earns four out of five stars.
