SOLVED. YA read in 2009, a girl is forced by her mother to take dead twin brother's identity [s]

[Marion]

This is a book which was a part of a series... here are some general details:

- most happens in the forest, including a sex scene with a neighbour who has ginger hair
- there is some magic involved
- the cover was green, the sequel had a blue cover

and details of the plot:

- main character's twin died when she was younger, her mother held her responsible for not dying instead of him and made her cut her hair/wear bandages to flatten chest/look like her twin and take his identity and appearance
- she had to die her hair blonde if I remember well

- story is about how she starts to rebel and admit to herself that she deserves to be herself and not what her mother wants to be

Thank you so much for helping me find this!
