Book Report:Twins=)

This week I read the novel Twins by Marcy Dermansky. Imagine all your life having someone by your side knowing you are stuck with them until college dues you apart . . . or not. It starts on the eve of their thirteenth birthday Sue makes Chloe get tattoos to prove that no matter what they will be together forever Chloe didn't really want this but she guiltily accepts. That's when Sue decides to become an obsessive twin, thinking she can get whatever she wants and have Chloe with her no matter what that way. Over the course of five years these two girls struggle with heartbreak, unhappy vacations, eating disorders, pill abuse, getting neglected by their parents, living on their own, and the first painful explorations of love and sex. Sue and Chloe have to support each other through all this.

With a little kick of humor to it, when I read this book I learned more about myself and how hard it is being a teenager. There are just so many things you can handle, being perfect, getting good grades, keeping up with sports and having a life may not always be the best to your abilities and every now and then you do need a break. You do have the temptations of course but drugs and eating disorders are not a way to comfort you, at the moment it may feel good but later on you just end up more miserable then you already started. I am not saying I am perfect but I know better and can control myself.

However, Love and caring was what these girls really needed in their lifes, it's what everyone needs in their lifes actually. Without the proper love and care of family, it is pretty hard to support yourself throughout the rest of your life's. Therefore, you start making bad decisions about all your surroundings. I know that some people are just not meant to be parents and that's okay but you just can't ignore them forever, I would rather be with someone else who will be a parent for me and provide me with all the love and caring I need. Instead of being neglected and abandoned in your own house.

I give this book two big thumbs up and very highly recommend it. This book really inspired me to be a better person in life, and to  make better decisions about myself and my body. There are just things you have to let go of, and when you do, the best thing in your life may just occur only then.
