Girls
Ugh. I had to force myself to finish this book. This is a book about twin girls conjoined at the head, written alternately by each girl in autobiographical form. Here are the things that made me not like this book:
1. Way too much emphasis on the intended publication, or hope thereof, of the finished product. I cannot believe a real editor would not edit all that out.
2. I did not understand why it took them 30 years to figure out that some sort of wheeled assistive device would drastically improve their lives- so Rose wouldn't be carrying Ruby ALL the time. The "we wanted to be strong" story seems ridiculous.
3. I found the concept of one twin getting pregnant and having a baby extremely far-fetched.
4. If the twins could not be separated because they share an essential vein, to me that means they share all their blood because blood circulates. So I don't understand how one twin is not affected by drugs that the other twin is taking.
5. In terms of writing style, it seemed wasted. It could have been a beautifully-written story, but instead it seemed like two diaries published with no editing except maybe spell-check.
