This heartfelt novel for fans of Jandy Nelson and Adam Silvera follows twins Audrey and Clare as they grapple with their brother's death and their changing relationships - with each other and themselves. Audrey and Clare may be twins, but they don't share a school, a room, a star sign, or even a birthday. Ever since their brother Adam's death, all they've shared is confusion over who they are and what comes next. Audrey, tired of being seen as different from her neurotypical peers, is determined to return to public school. Clare is grappling with her gender fluidity and is wondering what emerging feelings for a nonbinary classmate might mean. Will first crushes, new family dynamics, and questions of identity prove that Audrey and Clare have grown too different to understand each other - or that they've needed each other all along? AGES: 12 plus AUTHOR: Alexandra Latos lives in Alberta, Canada with her husband and children. This is her first young adult novel.
