I think those who enjoyed [[My Sister's Keeper]] would like this, as it is similar in many ways. I would also recommend [[The Abortionist's Daughter]]. These were, incidentally, both Richard and Judy Book Club picks, as indeed this book is. For another book about the state of being a twin, you might enjoy Diane Setterfield's [[The Thirteenth Tale]]. ''The Girls'' is a book which not only prompts you to think about serious issues, but also makes you feel like you're reading a proper story rather than some flitty, superficial chick lit. It's a meaty read, both in length and in content, but I would definitely recommend it.
