View this post on Instagram ❤ Wow, this blew me away! 💙 If the incredibly original and thought-provoking premise of this wasn't enough to keep me turning the pages, then Julie Cohen's wonderfully impacting prose was. The story of a single baby born but two lives lived, one as a male and one as a female, and the ways their lives were different as a result, or weren't, was so deftly interwoven throughout, and I especially loved the 'spot the difference' element running through the narrative. It took me a few minutes to grasp why the stories diverged (because of course there are knock-on consequences to every action in one's life), and thinking about the implications of those was one of the many many joys of this book. I HIGHLY recommend reading this book! A post shared by Author | Reader | Cake Lover (@michelegormanuk) on Feb 22, 2020 at 10:29am PST
