Very few books have made me cry. This is one of those few.

As a disabled person, I’m always looking to read about disabled characters to see myself in fiction. But in this case, I feel like this story wasn’t the author’s to tell. It was well written but it just felt a bit exploitative. In my opinion this is really a book for non disabled people to read and feel good about themselves, not for disabled readers to see themselves in.

I received this from the publisher via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
This book will be released on 15th September.
I've never read a book about conjoined twins but as soon as I saw this, I knew I had to request it. How interesting would it be to be in the minds of twins who are joined (literally) at the hip. What a rollercoaster of emotions it would be. I wasn't expecting anything like this though.

Biasanya aku nggak terlalu suka dengan model tulisan yang mirip puisi begini, terlebih karena genre buku ini bukan puisi. Tapi, rupanya penulis mampu menuangkan seluruh emosi dalam prosa-prosa singkat dari sudut pandang Grace. Even though it was short, it has a lot of emotions and feelings. So heartwarming yet heartbreaking at the same time.
Salut sekali sama penulisnya yang sudah berani mengambil tema yang nggak biasa dengan riset yang sangat mendalam sehingga fakta-fakta di dalam cerita tersampaikan dengan baik dan benar. Selain memberikan sudut pandang baru, buku ini juga mampu mengedukasi pembaca tentang kehidupan sehari-hari sepasang saudara kembar siam.
This one truly deserve a 5 stars.

Normally I hate these kind of books (verse/poetry), but I loved this one to bits. That ending!
