Charles Hays | 3 comments I think I listened to the audio book just prior to 2020 and it seemed like it had been written fairly recently. I *think* there were at least two books in a series but I don't remember.

I'm not 100% sure the girls are twins, but like 90% sure.

The girls get separated and much of the story is about them trying to reunite. The chapters alternate from the focus of one girl to the other - but not first person I think - just the chapters are about one girl at a time.

The story takes place in the near not quite dystopian future in a place like the USA - they have cars. The twin girls are teenagers and I think their parents died. The people in power (I'm not sure it's a government) recommend euthanasia for at least one of the girls but she refused.

One of the supporting characters is boy whose father is high up in the ruling class. He kind of alternates between an enemy and an ally.

At one point in the story one of the girls is captured, held prisoner with other teenagers, and forced to learn fighting in some kind of resistance or military group.

One detail I remember is one of the twins is in a car accident with the boy she likes - they hit a deer or moose or something and the antlers come through the windshield and pin the boy to the seat and they have to use the car's jack to push the deer off of him.

Another detail is one of the twins and another character are going through books and DVDs from the past trying to research. They find a Forrest Gump DVD, although the name is not mentioned. They describe it as a documentary about a man who fights in a war, plays ping pong, and runs across the country. Or something like that.

That's all I've got for now. :) I want to find it and read/listen to it again. :)

Thanks!
