Damage Done is about a girl named Julia who moves to a new school and changes her name after her twin brother is arrested for killing 11 people at their old school. 
 From the minute I started reading I knew what was going to happen in this book. I appreciated the attempt the author made to tell this story because honestly I don't think I've ever read a story like this one: where (view spoiler)[we're supposed to believe everything the main character says and then the twist is that they are a pathological liar and killer (hide spoiler)]. This idea is so interesting to me and it could've been a really surprising twist, but there were just so many weirdly worded scenes that made it obvious that (view spoiler)[Lucy/Julia (hide spoiler)] was not to be trusted. From the very beginning, I pegged (view spoiler)[her (hide spoiler)] as a character that wasn't reliable and was kinda sketchy. I liked that we got hints about what was really going on, but I think there were a little too many. There were times when (view spoiler)[Lucy/Julia (hide spoiler)] just really seemed manic and crazed and was (view spoiler)[exactly like her brother (hide spoiler)]. I was hoping this would be a thrilling story where I would get to the end and be so shocked that I would have to go back through all the pages again to find quotes that connect everything, but instead everything was really spelled out so the end wasn't a surprise. At a certain point in this book I was just reading quickly to try to get to the end to find out WHY everything happened since I already knew whodunnit. The last few chapters in this book were particularly disturbing and I thought the ending (view spoiler)[with Lucy/Julia getting away and having ZERO consequences (hide spoiler)] was very unrealistic. 
 I have received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
