Grace and Tippi don't like being stared and sneered at, but they're used to it. They're conjoined twins - united in blood and bone.
What they want is to be looked at in turn, like they truly are two people. They want real friends. And what about love?
But a heart-wrenching decision lies ahead for Tippi and Grace. One that could change their lives more than they ever asked for...

Mindblown. I have no words to really describe the impact this book has.
It throws you deep into Grace and Tippi's world as conjoined twins. Together but two very different girls. They're truely remarkable.

I've also never read a book before in the layout this was in. In someways it made it so much easier to read and take in everything that is happening. This story is told more so from Grace's point of view.

Grace and Tippi have always been used to having people stare at them. They've been home schooled from a young age, but now, they're being thrown into the world. It's daunting for Grace who is the quieter of the two girls. But it opens her eyes to the world around them, the beauty and also the evil it holds.

I loved how they're fears were ones that mattered, how when someone was worried about no internet or something, they'd realise that was just petty. They were twins, stuck together forever, wifi wasn't something to be stressy over. They both craved individuality and i think once in school, they got that through Jon and Yasmeen. They treated the girls as two, not one.

The book isn't all happy and fun, its sad and tearful and heartbreaking. It shows the true determination of both girls to do right for their families, even towards the end, for themselves. The ending got me as although I suspected it might happen, to whom i got very wrong. And that was the heartbreaking part.

This is truely a must read. Even to help us understand how different we all are and thats okay, because we're the same inside.
