Bought from the library sale.

From Goodreads:
'They tried to make me go to my sister's funeral today. In the end I had to give in ... I'd been walking in her shadow for sixteen years and I liked its cool darkness. It was a good place to hide.'

Rebecca's twin sister Hephzibah was beautiful and daring. She was the one who always wanted more. The one who wouldn't listen. Now she's gone, Rebecca is alone.

While there were two of them, they stayed silent about their home life. But Rebecca, who knows the truth about how her twin died, suddenly finds herself keeping too many secrets. Hephzibah dreamt of escape, but failed. Could Rebecca be the one to find freedom?

Original and unforgettable, Black Heart Blue is not just Rebecca and Hephzibah's story. It's a story about all of us: a story about the lies we want to believe, the truth we sometimes can't, and having the courage to discover the difference.

What a tragic book!
Told by twins Hephzibah before her death and Rebecca post Hephzibah's death, it tells the stories of the twins lives which were far from good.
They had each other but after the death of Hephzibah, Rebecca is on her own. Rebecca has Treacher Collins syndrome which affects her appearance and she has a harder life than her sister.
This book touches on several things including on rape, abuse and disability. It was difficult to put it down. I felt the sisters despair and the desperation of their situation.
A book that will stay with me for a long time.

Taking from the Rainbow BookBox.

This was a difficult book to read. I will search my shelves for a light hearted follow on. The tension and hopelessness of the twin girls' situation was well built, although I felt the denouement was hasty.

Taken out of the Random Bookbox, as my TBR is massive it may take me a while to get to this.
