Jennifer's Review
Enemy Self is a good book that I really liked.
It's a bit confusing, but very enjoyable to read.
It's about a girl named Jessica who one day wakes up in a stranger's bed and believes that she is trapped in her enemy's body. Her enemy is none other than Denise, who is a drug addict with abusive parents. Jessica is forced to live as Denise and has all her memories and bad experiences.
Soon, she begins to believe she really is Denise. Does she ever get her own body and memories back? Read Enemy Self if you've ever been bullied and see what it means to be in the bully's own shoes; maybe you will be able to understand why that person chose to become one.
4 stars.
