And they are happy, never wanting to risk the dangerous separation surgery.But the girls' body is beginning to fight against them. And Grace doesn't want to admit it. Not even to Tippi.

"Honestly this book isn't that sad until that ending comes up on you for no reason at all. The way this is laid out and the way it's got such hope in it the ending is just one of those My Sister's Keeper kind of things. Only with My Sister's Keeper I felt okay at the end because I feel like it had worked itself out and that the other one wasn't suffering, there's none of that here. I still recommend it because honestly the book wasn't that long of a read maybe two hours, but it's pretty mid."

"This book will take your breathe away, it's poetic and very descriptive. It's very sad too, it's just a book with many emotions that I can't describe."

"This book was very moving, it really made me appreciate and understand how it is to be a individual. it’s a book full of poems, so it’s a very easy read. it has a very sad and tragic ending so get ready for a lot of tears!"
