Sharon Smith is a senior in highschool and the
valedictorian of her class. She plays the cello
and piano, volunteers at the library, tutors other kids,
works part time at McDonald's, and has been running
her paper route since she was eight.
On top of all that she is taking college credits online,
saving to buy a car, and applying to all the Ivy League
colleges, but what matters the most to her is her best
friend and next-door neighbor, Calvin. They've known
each other for forever, and she imagines spending the
rest of their lives together. If only he wasn't obsessed
with Sharon's fraternal twin, Shannon.
Shannon is everyone's favorite. She sings like the
angels, is usually smiling, has golden blonde hair,
chocolate brown eyes, and is always the center
of attention. She's not the smartest, but has been
given a free pass in life because of her
severe congenital heart defect.
She has the rarest blood type in the world, which
complicates getting a much needed heart transplant.
Because of this, she sucks up all her parents' attention,
and is in the hospital more than she is out of it, leaving
Sharon alone most of the time. Sharon isn't completely
alone though. She has her maternal grandparents.
Someone Else follows the twin's last year of high
school, the ups and downs of love, family drama, and
trying to make a plan for the rest of their lives. They
may not end up where they want to be, but fate puts
them where they need to be.
