The Boyer's family experienced a horrible car crash, which left all of them injured and one even dead. This heavily affected Gizelle who lost her twin sister Isabelle. Although the police suspected the accident wasn't exactly an accident, as the person who crashed them was perfectly fine and was even released of custody. In the end person who was arrested was Janice Hill.
When Giselle made this statement, my mind immediately went to the #coverart. There's another idea that could also refer to it. If I can find it, I'll post. But I think this one is the more likely of the two. It's not always that the interpretation of the cover is made plain. Being a twin, it's natural that she would choose this painting. If I get into my reasoning, I'll have to put up the "spoiler" screen. I love both of these images. #bookcover
pickI listened on audio. Giselle Boyer is a twin. And family is the central theme as her perspective ranges from a family outing, to a comatose state following an auto accident, to family gatherings again. Her upbringing has prepared her well for such a time as this. Bahni Turpin's calm and deliberate delivery as Giselle entwines the reader in "Untwine." Toward the end, each chapter ending could have been a beautiful ending to the story.

pickThe writing is great (of course) but as a book for teens I'm worried 95% of that audience would find it slow and lacking in suspense. As a teacher and someone who knows Danticat for her literary fiction, it doesn't matter to me. I'm Interested to see the reaction of students who I may pick it up.
