With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we're looking for books published in the last year or so that are easy reads, something uplifting to take to a sunny beach, or to pick up in a quiet moment at home (should you be lucky enough to have one of those). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

This book is refreshingly different from the typical light read aimed at women.It was shortlisted by the Richard and Judy's book club, and for good reason! The story centres around sisters Rose and Ruby who are conjoined twins (craniopagus twins), but we meet them and know them as seperate individuals. A tale of sisterhood, individuality and being happy in your own skin. One of those books you have to recommend to a girlfriend, so I'm recomending it to all of you! The book is beautifully written, with the essential element of it being moving, funny, and very difficult to put down; in short, a story that will stay with you for a long time, if not forever. Read it!
