Fire. Revenge. That's all seventeen-year-old Alice Monroe thinks about. Committed to a mental ward at Savage Isle, Alice is haunted by memories of the fire that killed her boyfriend, Jason. A blaze her twin sister Cellie set. But when Chase, a mysterious, charismatic patient, agrees to help her seek vengeance, Alice begins to rethink everything. Writing out the story of her troubled past in a journal, she must confront hidden truths. Is the one person she trusts only telling her half the story? Nothing is as it seems in this edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller from the debut author Emiko Jean.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Realistic characters make good use of a gothic setting that will attract anyone with a taste for the edge." <br><i><b>--Kirkus</b></i> <p/> "A clever psychological thriller that had me holding my breath to the bitter end. More please!" <br><b>--Kimberly Derting, author of the Body Finder series</b> <p/> "Engaging and twisted, Emiko Jean's WE'LL NEVER BE APART will draw you in and leave you reeling. An intimate study of damaged people, the pain they're in, and the havoc they wreak." <br><b>--Kendare Blake, author of <i>Anna Dressed in Blood</i></b> <p/> "I love a wild psychological ride--and Emiko Jean elevates the genre with this taut, provocative thriller. Jealously, violence, and revenge are the sharp corners of a novel that holds at center themes of loss, love, and the warm, beating heart of human connection. Alice and Celia are fascinating as twins whose personae play out along a rich dynamic of entrapment, suspicion, trauma, and alienation--and raise always-intriguing issues of sisterhood, duality, and how existing as a double is also a splintering of self. A killer debut!" <br><b>--National Book Award finalist Adele Griffin</b> <p/> "Haunting and gripping, WE'LL NEVER BE APART is a twisty, thrilling debut that kept me completely riveted. I can't wait to read whatever Emiko Jean writes next!" <br><b>--Megan Miranda, author of <i>Fracture</i></b> <p/> "Taut and disquieting, WE'LL NEVER BE APART will unsettle you long before it pulls the rug from under your feet. Like the institution that Alice and Cellie call home, this book comes with a warning: Once inside, be careful who you trust." <br><b>--Kat Rosenfield, author of <i>Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone</i></b> <p/><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Emiko Jean</b> is an elementary school math teacher whose work with children in foster care inspired <i>We'll Never Be Apart</i>. She lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington. <br>
