Very very interesting read...but it just felt wrong somehow. The two bully Erin's die and no explanation or closure to why one bully Erin just decided to turn on her friend (All three Erin's were originally inseparable but in elementary, one Erin turned on the Erin this story is about) did she find out she was the wrong baby? All Erin's were born on the same day and two were switched. Erin Easter had been bullied and harassed and tormented in highschool, sneered at by some parents because her single "mother" Gina was a drug addict and they were poor. The story didn't fit for me because it all happened so easily. Erin Easter finds out after the other two Erin's die that Gina is not her mother, that the wealthy Aldermans are actually her parents .... She accepts this easily and gets to know her "real parents" who were HAPPY even though the daughter they had raised for 18years just died. Erin Easter went along with everything so easily is what gets me... I would be confused, mistrustful of maybe being seen as a replacement for what they lost, leery of all the people that looked down on her suddenly being nice and acknowledging her...so many things that I would expect and would be normal. The story is short and unfulfilling. I don't like books that leave me with more questions and "WTF?" Feeling.... It doesn't sit right with me that this bullied and tormented teen steps into a life that a short while before belonged to the other Erin.... From her parents to her ex-boyfriend to her name. I know it was rightfully hers but after years of neglect and being bullied, you accept so fast? Did I get the wrong book or something? I feel like I got the first and third quarter and I'm missing the middle piece and ending.
