Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix (Alright)

I read Double Identity and frankly, I wasn't crazy about it. Anyway, here's the cover:
The cover is pretty explanatory once you've read it, so I won't get into that. I'll do my description before I tell you about my review of it.
Bethany has a nice, cushy life until one day when her dad drops here off with a mysterious relative and then vanishes. She needs to unravel the truth of her past. There's only one thing she has to go by. A name. Elizabeth.
Before I go any farther, I want to say that I really like the author of this book, Margaret Peterson Haddix.  I particually like the Missing Series and The Shadow Children Series.  
Personally, I was very, very bored when I was reading it.  Bethany just sat around moping all the time!  Then there was a tiny exciting part, near the end, but when I was reading it, I just couldn't get very into it because I hate the character of Bethany so much.  Now, it wasn't all bad by any means. I wouldn't go as far as to advise you not to read it if you have it laying around. But, I wouldn't suggest buying it. It had a couple of all right parts, there was a plot twist (that's good in my opinion), and not everyone would hate Bethany as much as I did; I'm sure that some of you would like it if you read it, but let it be known that I warned you.
Sorry that I haven't really posted very much recently. I'm really behind on books, but i just haven't had any time! I'll try to do some more reviews whenever I can. 
Hope you all have/ had a good spring break!
