"I've buried nearly everyone I love. (page 1, line 1)

Dualed is exciting, original and emotional. Elsie Chapman has created a really interesting world - to survive you have to kill the person who looks exactly like you, who shares your DNA but is your mortal enemy. It made me think about what I'd do if I lived in Kersh. If I was West, a girl who has lost everyone, who is filled with guilt and doubt, what would I do? Would I be the one who survived?

This book was very focused on West's assignment, kill or be killed, I wish there had been more about the Board, more... just more everything. Still, I'm excited to see what happens next in Divided.
