This book has the feel of a true memoir, although a work of fiction. I really enjoyed getting into minds of each conjoined twin and seeing their individuality come through.

There was a lot I enjoyed about this book. The story was interesting, and I like the use of different voices telling the story. It took awhile to quickly identify who was speaking, and how that person fit in. However, I think that the characters weren't all that cohesive, and could have been pared down quite a bit. The book could have benefited by having fewer characters that were more developed. Overall though, I did like it.

This book resonated very strongly with my work with dementia patients. I loved the different family dynamics that play out, as well as the fact that that author made sure that some of the reactions to this devastating disease were hurtful and insensitive. That's the reality. Although there were a couple parts I found to be rather far reaching, overall I felt that this was very insightful and a big help in understanding people who are unravelled by this desease.
