Book review--The Girls by Lori Lansens

The Girls by Lori Lansens

Premise—Siamese twins joined at the head tell their story. I read it because I thought it was on a list I needed to read for a project—then I found out it was not. It starts out well, and deals directly with the disability and people’s reactions to it. The voices are generally authentic and distinct. It bogged down before it got to the end—I found myself wishing they’d hurry up and die and get it over with. But I’m not usually into books about people dying. Interesting in spots, but not high on my recommendation list.
