One of the BEST books I have read in a while - It is the story of twin sisters , written jointly yet with
" two individual voices " . They begin their story in re-telling of events from early childhood through the eyes of twins - sibling rivalry magnified because of being twins and a deep connection / love for each other because of being twins . The back and forth writing style drew me in . I heald my breath as I read what one had written about a certain event or time period in their lives , anticipating what the other had to say when they shared their account of the same event / time period . It soon became appearant there is more to the story than two different perspectives - " Pammy " is diagnosed with schizophrenia . From there the story is told from the mind of a mentally ill person and her twin who lives through the horrors with her .They continue their back and forth approach to sharing their lives - one in the throws of illness , drug therapy , hallucinations and the other caught up by guilt , sorrow , anger . Such a sad story , but one that has you wishing the pages would never run out .
