Thank you NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC of When She Was Me by Marlee Bush. 
 
Have you ever been camping? Do you like it? 

Cassie and Lenora are twin sisters living in a cabin in the woods, trying to hide from their dark past. 
When a teenage girl goes missing, while their family is camping, Cassie thinks her sister did something to the teenage girl. 
 
Can Lenora hurt someone? But who else could have done it? Both sisters try to figure out what happened to the missing girl. 
 
The book was a little slow in the first half. Then it started getting interesting towards the ending trying to figure out who murdered the teenage girl. We do see a lot of in-between timeliness and learn more about Cassie and Lenora's childhood. At times I did feel lost not knowing who was who or what was happening. It was gripping and twisty but then it all made sense and BOOM!
