Welcome to Litsy!

Graphic novel endorsed by Neil Gaiman? Yes please.

This was less about the relationship of conjoined twin sisters, and more about found family and following your dreams. The carnival is a fascinating setting.

There were interesting ideas and characters and relationships in this story. But it felt like those aspects were buried under a romantic story line.

Such a beautiful and heartbreaking #graphicnovel. It is about conjoined twins that were sold by their family to a traveling sideshow until a surgeon tries to separate them and causes one of them to die. It goes into grief, how sideshows exploited the differently abled and were blatantly racist, and there is a bit of a love story thrown in there as well. Excellent book!

What a lovely graphic novel about loss, love, and family. Isabel and Jane are conjoined twins making a living in a sideshow until the desire for normalcy disrupts their lives. If you love stories of outsiders and the bonds that bring them together, this one is perfect for you. #Scarathlon #TeamHarkness @StayCurious

Strange and melancholy and unexpectedly relatable, which is what you‘d expect from Lisa Brown. It‘s hard to believe this is her first graphic novel. I can‘t wait for more.

We follow conjoined twins, Jane and Iss, who work for a sideshow act. Jane wants to have surgery to be separated. The result is Janes death and Isabel trying to move forward with Janes ghost.
I truly enjoyed this GN. It was a fast easy read. I loved the artwork throughout. I really liked the feel good ending.

Thank you to Macmillan for my early finished copy. Opinions are my own.

It‘s been a while since I‘ve read a graphic novel in one sitting, but this one was gripping! It may have been the idea of a phantom twin, or the sideshow setting, or even the old-school tattoo parlor; most likely a combination of all of the above and the fact that I was drawn (pun intended) to all the characters.

I have pre-ordered a physical copy and will count down the days until its release. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
