The Test Kindle Edition

Gen and Eric have always been known as the “twins.” With simple, all-American names and a shared childhood in small-town Idaho, people assume they’re exactly what they appear to be: ordinary siblings living an ordinary life. But the truth is far more complicated. They aren’t twins. They aren’t even related by blood. And in a town where everyone seems to fit neatly into a box, Gen has never quite figured out where she belongs.Sharp-tongued, fiercely protective, and far more comfortable being right than being nice, Gen learns early that life isn’t fair. Teased for being different and constantly defending herself and Eric, she survives childhood with the help of her friends, Steven, the boy whose favorite color is clear, and Becca, who will probably be the first female president. Together, the four outsiders navigate school, identity, and the quiet loneliness of growing up feeling out of place.Gen finds herself in places she never imagined—sitting in churches she never thought she’d enter, asking questions about faith she never expected to consider, and chasing stories that slowly begin to mirror her own search for meaning.As faith, friendship, and first love intertwine, Gen must confront the questions she’s spent her life avoiding: who she really is, where she belongs, and whether the life she’s chasing is the one she truly wants.
