Tippi and Grace. Grace and Tippi. For them, it’s simply normal to step into the same skirt. To hook their arms around each other for balance. To fall asleep listening to the other breathing. To share. And to keep some things private. The two sixteen-year-old girls have two heads, two hearts, and each has two arms, but at the belly, they join and are one. And they are happy, never wanting to risk the dangerous separation surgery. But everything is changing. They must leave the security of homeschooling and go to a real high school for the first time. Their family is having money problems. And the girls’ body is beginning to fight against them. Sarah Crossan writes with beauty and sensitivity about the impossible decision the girls now face. This novel-in-verse is a captivating and heart-wrenching window into Tippi and Grace’s lives, which are as much like our own as they are different. One is a break-out novel for a true literary talent.
