Of course one sister is pure and good and light. She's blonde and listens to her parents and gets good grades. She's bland and boring. Then there's Syd - who's dark and bad and troubled and smart. Have a I mentioned that I really hate when authors use such a trite mechanism as physical attributes to define a character. Ugh. This book was not off to a good start.
Grahm is trouble. He's parents think he's "gifted" and "artistic" but the only one that seems to be onto him is Syd. I thought this book was going to be two sisters in love with the same boy. I'm glad it at least had a little more meat to it than that.
I found what the story grew into to be surprising and disturbing. I gave it three stars based on the fact that it wasn't as awful as it initially appeared and the author did provide unexpected plot twists. I probably wouldn't read another book of hers though.
