Really enjoyed this book, I did not know the twins were conjoined when I first picked it up so that was fun to learn. The art was good and really helped to direct the tone of the book. The characters were interesting and I really felt like I understood the time better than when I started. In the end, I felt that the story was very life-affirming, which is a very good thing for a book to be.
The relationship between Jane and Isabella was really interesting and I wished that was explored more.
