One and the Same: My Life as an Identical Twin and What I've Learned about Everyone's Struggle to Be Singular by Abigail Pogrebin

3.0

I'm a bit biased here as a parent of identical twin 1 year olds! I was hoping to learn about the identical twin experience, as well as some practical tips for how to be more sensitive to their upcoming unique childhood. I came away feeling relatively satisfied in both, as Pogrebin did a good job of mixing science with storytelling as she outlined the unusual world of identical twins. That said, perhaps because I'm a parent of identical twins, I was hoping for a bit more pragmatic learnings, and a bit less deep storytelling, hence only 3 stars. Still, I'm really thankful for the book, and enjoyed it!
