Why read it?

Excellent. Penny is a teenager with a multiple personality disorder who is accused of murder. She's temporarily placed into a mental hospital while a doctor analyzes her in an attempt to get to the bottom of it.

Penny was adopted as a little girl, which leads to serious tension in the family dynamics with lots of subplots going on. Maybe too much at times, making the story drag on just a bit too long for my taste. Could have been 75 or 100 pages shorter and just as good. Awesome story, though, with a slower burn than many thrillers.
