One Mini-Review

Hiya!

Today I am reviewing this random book from the library.

"Tippi and Grace share everything—clothes, friends . . . even their body. Writing in free verse, Sarah Crossan tells the sensitive and moving story of conjoined twin sisters, which will find fans in readers of Gayle Forman, Jodi Picoult, and Jandy Nelson.

Tippi and Grace. Grace and Tippi. For them, it's 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. Each of the sixteen-year-old girls has her own head, heart, and two arms, but at the belly, they join. And they are happy, never wanting to risk the dangerous separation surgery.

But the girls' body is beginning to fight against them. And Grace doesn't want to admit it. Not even to Tippi. How long can they hide from the truth—how long before they must face the most impossible choice of their lives?

Carnegie Medal–winning author Sarah Crossan gives us a story about unbreakable bonds, hope, loss, and the lengths we will go to for the person we love most." From Amazon.

This is called One. I have no idea when I started it, but I finished it 6:07 pm. This book is about conjoined twins, which is surprising mostly everyone but me. See, the girls on the cover look pretty much exactly like conjoined twins exact in a paper snowflake. Perhaps it is the text above it "Two lives. Two sisters. One choice." Yeah, it would have been better if it said "Two lives. Two sisters. One body." or something along those lines. 

This 
  book
is done 
in 
a 
poetry 
style
in case you haven't 
  noticed.

So, the basic plot is Grace gets sick, and they can't treat conjoined twins, so they have to choose if they want to be separated or not. Hope I didn't reveal to much.


PROS
-I don't think I have ever read a book about conjoined twins, but I tried to write one. So this was kind of cool to read, like seeing the story I never finished.
-It is moving.

CONS
-The cover.
-You can not probably have an eating disorder. You do or you don't. Plus how these people's parents not notice the fact their daughter was super super skinny? 


COS (con pros)
-"Her voice was wispy like laundry drying on a line." 

Overall, this is a good book, but not something I can really rant or rave about. Four stars.
