Phantom Limb by Lucinda Berry - 3 1/2 Stars

 Emily and Elizabeth spend their childhood locked in a bedroom and terrorized by a mother who drinks too much and disappears for days. The identical twins are rescued by a family determined to be their saviors.

But there’s some horrors love can’t erase…

Elizabeth wakes in a hospital, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak. The last thing she remembers is finding Emily’s body in their bathroom. Days before, she was falling in love and starting college. Now, she’s surrounded by men who talk to themselves and women who pull out their eyebrows.

As she delves deeper into the mystery surrounding Emily’s death, she discovers shocking secrets and holes in her memory that force her to remember what she’s worked so hard to forget—the beatings, the blood, the special friends. Her life spins out of control at a terrifying speed as she desperately tries to unravel the psychological puzzle of her past before it’s too late.

So, the last couple of chapters saved this one from being a really low rating. It started out so slow and didn't really pick up like I thought it would. I honestly almost gave up, but after one of the plot twists I wanted to see what was going to happen. The major twist helped me give it the extra 1/2 star (to be rounded up on GR). This is my 3rd book by her.
