She does not take school (or anything else for that matter) very seriously. She is a rebel to the core and could not care less about her father and her mother. She's accepted her role in the family.Raeanne is Kaeleigh's opposite. She's learned to cope with trauma by being quiet and calm.

She has a bit of a timid personality, probably due to the abuse she's suffer at the hands of her father and the indifference of her mother. Everything is about image all of the time.And Kaeleigh lives up to that perfect ideal. Even when she's home, she's not really there. She escapes her duties as a wife and mother by campaigning around the country. He's addicted to alcohol and prescription pills, and stated sexually abusing Kaeleigh when she was a young, young girl. Which is fairly ironic, because he is a demon at home. That said, I can talk about a majority of the plot of this book without giving too much away. I had to figure it all out on my own, and I don't want to ruin this for all of you who decide to read this book. There are lots of ways that I could spoil this book by going into deep detail about these two characters, but I will not. I think that this is a mark of good writing, because it takes a lot to make me feel physically ill just from reading.In Identical, we meet two main characters. Maybe I'm just emotional or something, but I had an almost physical aversion to a couple of the characters in this book. This one, unlike some of the others that I've read, is so disturbing that I had a tough time reading it. I am officially caught up with her and understand the full body of her work.This book, like all of the others in Hopkins's repertoire, is filled with edginess. With Identical, I've now read all of Ellen Hopkins's books that are in print.
