I just have to say that I really loved this book. It's one of those books that you remember years later. I really loved the writing style. I just can't say enough about it.

The story is about Rose & Ruby Darlen, The worlds oldest craniopagus twins. A recent medical diagnosis has spurred Rose to write her autobiography, and she encourages Ruby to do the same. They talk anout their life from birth to the present day. Each sister is different than the other. Rose is kinda quieter and more melodramatic. Ruby is more in your face and likes to "tell it how she see's it" Both of them are as different as night and day, but that does not really seem to come between them and they seem to respect each other.

This is such a beautiful story and I love how parts are told from Rose's point of view and parts from Ruby's point of view. I don't want to give too much away, but it does have some seriously shocking moments in there. They kind of blindside you and as you put the book down the only thing you will think of is, "I didn't see that coming."
