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?
One is my first book of Sarah Crossan's, and by that
standard, it won't be my last, I'm going to go more into depth of why I liked
it in a minute, in a way that I don't usually format my reviews, so I'll go
into what I wasn't that keen on now. My issue with One isn't the format, that
was great, and surprised me, but the problem was that I couldn't connect to the
characters, at all. I mean, I felt for them, and I got into it, but there was
just no attachment for me, and while I think the format is great and it works
better than I thought it would, maybe that's why it felt like a lost
connection.
