The Second Life of Ava Rivers

409 pp. | Penguin/Razorbill | August, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-451-47830-6 $17.99
(4) YA Vera has been sleepwalking through life since her twin sister Ava disappeared a dozen years ago from their Northern California hometown. Just as Vera is ready to start anew at college, Ava reappears, offering a chance for family healing even as questions about Ava's past remain. Lack of character depth and a plot that at times strains credulity mar this otherwise engrossing suspense novel.
