Pretend She's Here by Luanne RiceMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Emily has been grieving her best friend, dead for almost a year. Lizzie's family moved away just after her death, but she's not surprised to see them back a few days before the anniversary; naturally they'd want to visit Lizzie's grave. She accepts an invitation to go with them without thinking too much about it.
She wakes up in a replica of Lizzie's room, wearing Lizzie's clothes, hair styled and coloured like Lizzie. Lizzie's mother has decided that she needs a daughter, and since she can't have her own, her best friend will do. Kept under control by violence and threats, Emily must figure out how to stay true to herself when she's being told she's someone else.
What a great read! I really enjoyed this one, I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. Emily was amazingly strong, and the ending was absolutely perfect. I'll be watching out for more from this author.
