Plot

Two months after dying, seventeen-year-old witch Graylee Perez wakes up in her twin sister Charlene’s body. Until Gray finds a way back inside her own body, she’s stuck being Charlene every twenty-hour hours. Her sister has left precise instructions on how Gray should dress and behave. Looking like a prep isn’t half as bad as hanging out with Charlene’s snotty friends and gropey boyfriend.

The “normals” of McKinley High might be quick to write her behavior off as post-traumatic stress, but warlock Raj McKenna is the only person who suspects Gray has returned from the dead.

Now Gray has to solve the mystery of her death while working out a way to disentangle herself from Charlene’s body before she disappears for good.

I came across this book on Instagram and  I instantly fell in love with the cover, so I looked it up.
As you can see in the plot, we're following Graylee Perez adventures, or rather the mess that is his life right now.
The story is quite funny, a mix between Charmed and Mean Girls, the perfect book if you want an easy reading.

I really liked Graylee, while she's clearly the victim, she doesn't complain in self-pity or anything, she fights back and fiercely, and I love the dynamic between her and the other characters.
Talking other characters, It's really nice to finally see people who are not black or white, the bad guys are not all bad and the good guys are not what they seem to be, it's quite refreshing.

As to the book dynamic, it's brilliant. We spend half of the book in Gray's head, then Charlene's one, and all of that in one only body.
While quite disturbing at the beginning, I got used to it quite easily and actually really enjoyed it :)

That said, the book is not perfect.
I don't know if it was done on purpose or just a mistake from the author, but the sudden change of reactions and feelings from the characters can be a little bit destabilizing, you really feel like you're in a teenager's head.

In short, not The book of the year but still a nice time to spend.

Oh and if you're interested, you can find it for free on Amazon.
