출판사 설명
Lacy Shelton and her sister Hope couldn't be more different, despite being less than a year apart in age. Lacy is captain of the debate team, poised to be Valedictorian of the high school and waiting for an admission letter from Yale any day. Hope is captain of the swim team, but will be happy if she gets into community college.
Hope has taken everything Lacy ever wanted, from pacifiers to high heels. But Lacy won't let that happen again, not this time. She won't let Hope take the new guy in school, and she sure as heck won't let Hope ruin her chances with Yale. Until a shocking death changes all of Lacy's plans. Now stuck in a court-mandated psychiatrist's office, she's forced to relive the months leading up to the tragedy to determine whether Hope will take her future, too.
Alternating between Lacy's and Hope's points of view, Already Gone pieces together a tense puzzle of sisterhood, betrayal, mistakes, and ultimately forgiving someone who can be gone in a blink.

Wow
Definitely not the ending I expected. This book brought up a lot of emotions, but it was an excellent read.
perfect read for a rainy afternoon!
OH, man. This did not go where I was thinking it was going. Have your tissues ready. I wasn’t really sure what to think about Hope and Lacy at first, and kept changing my mind on what I thought would happen next. I was getting a “13 Reasons Why” vibe from it at times. The teenaged characters reminded me of what the kids in that story/show went through with the mixed up feelings, romances, jealousy, guilt. A bit more of a heavy topic with the major chasm between the sisters, but the book was quick so you don’t have to feel stressed long. The sisters mature a good deal throughout the book and I had to reread the start of it again once I finished it. It was refreshing to have a different (but good!) sort of ending to this type of story. A perfect read for a rainy afternoon!
Suspense and romance
Already Gone takes the reader on a journey. In this journey you see how two sisters who are close in age and in the same grade deal with things when their typically-separate school-related spheres collide.
There is a lot of heart in this book and it’s beautifully written from two points of view. One of Bridget Baker’s best.
