The Girls - Lori Laansens

A beautiful, touching story.

Lansens portrayal of craniopagic congjoined twins is simply superb. Witty at times and touching at others, and always with an element of real life. I cannot imagine that truly conjoined twins would find her descriptions of their lives and challenges anything other than believable. Though you realize very early on how the book will end, you find yourself interested in the journey to that end.

Simply put, a brilliant piece of work.
