Goodreads Summary:
Grace and Tippi are twins – conjoined twins.
And their lives are about to change.
No longer able to afford homeschooling, they must venture into the world – a world of stares, sneers and cruelty. Will they find more than that at school? Can they find real friends? And what about love?
But what neither Grace or Tippi realises is that a heart-wrenching decision lies ahead. A decision that could tear them apart. One that will change their lives even more than they ever imagined…
From Carnegie Medal shortlisted author Sarah Crossan, this moving and beautifully crafted novel about identity, sisterhood and love ultimately asks one question: what does it mean to want and have a soulmate?

RATING:
I read Crossan's The Weight of Water a couple of years ago and loved it. For some reason I thought One was not a verse novel, but your review sounds like it is.
ReplyDeleteIt also sounds like her writing is just as beautiful and elegant as of old - thanks for piquing my interest about this book :-)
Ohhhhhhhh you are making a convincing case here Sarika. I'll definitely check the book out now. Like the style of your review.

Ooo, what a GREAT review! I'm not quite interested in this one but I love how much you enjoyed this book. I did like Crossan's Breathe and Resist. Fabulous review!
