In a powerful and daring debut novel, Sonya Mukherjee shares the story of sisters Clara and Hailey, conjoined twins who are learning what it means to be truly extraordinary.
Seventeen-year-old conjoined twins Clara and Hailey have lived in the same small town their entire lives—no one stares at them anymore. But there are cracks in their quiet existence, and they’re slowly becoming more apparent.
Clara and Hailey are at a crossroads. Clara wants to stay close to home, avoid all attention, and study the night sky. Hailey wants to travel the world, learn from great artists, and dance with mysterious boys. As high school graduation approaches, each twin must untangle her dreams from her sister’s, and figure out what it means to be her own person. Told in alternating perspectives, this unconventional coming-of-age tale shows how dreams can break your heart—but the love between sisters can mend it.
I don't know about you guys, but Gemini by Sonya Mukherjee is one of my most anticipated contemporary reads of this month! I was drawn to not only the cover, (You all know I'm a cover whore HELLO!) but to just how unique the concept actually sounds. Reading about conjoined twins will be a first for me, (A first seeing it showcased in the young adult genre actually. If you know more titles like this, pass me some recs!) and even though I've watched a million and one documentaries on conjoined twins, never have I ever followed their lives within the fictional world, and I'm beyond excited to see what the author has created. I'm already loving her take on the title " Gemini, " a clever way to deliver a story that follows two twin girls that are polar opposites. Let's not forget it's told in my favorite, alternating perspectives. If this doesn't have you guys excited, then you clearly suck . . . just kidding.
Okay I lied, no I'm not.
Anywho, if Gemini has you just as pumped to read it as I am, then try your luck in the giveaway!
