Le sorelle
La vede ovunque: al tavolino di un bar, alla fermata dell'autobus, al supermercato. Ogni volta, per un istante Abi dimentica l'incidente, dimentica che sua sorella Lucy è morta, dimentica il dolore che la consuma da oltre un anno. E, ogni volta, Abi rimane inevitabilmente delusa. Ha tagliato i ponti con la famiglia, si è isolata dagli amici e si è trasferita in un'altra città, nella speranza di cominciare una nuova vita, però è stato inutile: nessuno dovrebbe mai sopravvivere alla propria gemella. Eppure, quando incontra Bea, Abi ha l'impressione che il destino le stia finalmente dando una seconda occasione. Perché quella ragazza non solo è fisicamente identica a Lucy, ma le assomiglia pure nel modo di parlare e di vestirsi. Inoltre anche lei ha un gemello, Ben, perciò più di chiunque altro comprende il vuoto che sente Abi. E si propone di colmarlo, accogliendola nella grande casa che divide col fratello. Se con Bea è stata un'affinità istantanea, con Ben è amore a prima vista. Tuttavia, più tempo passa insieme con loro, più Abi si convince che ci sia qualcosa che non vada. All'inizio era solo una sensazione, ma poi sono arrivate le fotografie strappate e gli oggetti spariti dalla sua camera. Sono opera di Bea, gelosa per la relazione del fratello? Abi quasi spera che sia così. Altrimenti vorrebbe dire che qualcuno ha scoperto il suo segreto...
