Identical by Ellen Hopkins
Kaleigh and Raeanne are twins who live in California with their father, who is a judge, and their mother, who is running for Congress. Their home life appears to be perfect, but is just the opposite. Daddy is sexually molesting Kaeleigh. Raeanne does drugs, is sexually promiscous and bulemic. Mother is never home and Daddy is controlling. It is not until Kaeleigh tries to commit suicide that the reader discovers what really happened one night that changed all of their lives. Very mature.
