Book Review: Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma

Chloe and her sister Ruby have an undeniably close relationship. Ruby is loved and obeyed by all and Chloe is along for the ride. Ruby gets her way and does whatever she wants whenever she wants. But one unforgettable night had Chloe leaving town and the sister she can’t let go of. On that horrible night Chloe discovered the dead body of her classmate London Hayes floating in the town’s reservoir. Now that two years have passed and the pain fading away, Chloe escapes the life she never wanted with her father to be back with her sister Ruby. Unfortunately things will not be the same that they once were. Trying to find the truth that was a fading memory, Chloe deciphers what her sister has been hiding for two years. What will Ruby do to save her sister and they bond that they cherish? The bond of sisterhood was pushed to the limits in this novel by Nova Ren Suma. Her first YA novel does not disappoint. The dark undertones of secrets mixed with the unconditional love of sisters gives for one exceptional book. I couldn’t put it down. Ruby was such a strong character throughout the book; she demanded the attention even when she wasn’t part of the scene. I don’t have a sister, but if I had a bond like Chloe and Ruby did, I would feel invincible. What Ruby did to protect Chloe goes beyond the duty of sisters.
