I love Ellen Hopkins' work. I've read very poor verse novels, but her work is absolutely amazing. 
 Identical, a stand alone work (for now--I wasn't expecting a sequel to Burned, either, but there's one coming) is a fantastic piece of work. Raeanne and Kaeleigh are identical twins, but Hopkins does a wonderful job of creating them and their oppositeness. 
 As usual, her work is emotional and painful and beautifully written. Plot is tightly-knit and powerful. Amazing, incredible work.
