Twins: A Novel | Marcy Dermansky
9 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
On the eve of their thirteenth birthday, identical twins Chloe and Sue agree to get matching tattoos to prove their bond is stronger than DNA. So begins Twins, Marcy Dermanskys funny and disturbingly honest debut novel, the extraordinary story of blonde, beautiful twin sisters trying to survive adolescence and each other. Over the course of five years, Chloe and Sue overcome breakups, unhappy Hawaiian vacations, unicycle lessons, eating disorders, pill abuse, and their first painful explorations of love and sex. Told in alternating voices, Twins introduces two new unforgettable heroines on the verge, in a spellbinding tale of teen angst, obsession, and redemption in the suburbs.

Not sure why this caught my eye or what exactly I think about it...

Totally unrelated to books, but 30 years ago today....I gave birth to twins. I can‘t believe the passing of time. Where does it even go?

Anna40 I'm a twin! My mom said the first 3 years were tough! 6y
SilversReviews @AmyG I am sure it is a shock...one was enough at one time, but it all works out. A friend‘s daughter had triplets....whew!! What a job that was. They are adorable, and it was all worth it in the end. :) Happy Birthday again to them. My son is going to turn 35...talk about where has the time gone. Have a great day. 6y
AmyG @Anna40 For me, once they were toilet trained and in preschool....Things got easier. So...yes, around 3. Hooray twins! 👭. @SilversReviews Triplets! Yikes. My husband, at one point, wanted a 4th. The first time...I had one. The second time...I had 2. I told my husband I wasn‘t a fool. Kitchen closed. 😝 (edited) 6y
LauraBeth Well this is completely adorable 💕💕 Happy Birthday to your babies 🎉🎉 6y
Kaye I can imagine you‘d have your hands full with 2 at once. I had 3 in 3 years. Conveyor belt got closed and shut down for business after that. 6y
Kaye By the way, today is the Hubster ‘s birthday too. The Big 60. 😳😬🤪 6y
AmyG @Kaye Happy Birthday to the hubby. Great day! And I also have a boy. He was 2 1/2 when the twins were born. So I had 3 under the age of 3. We had some fun, huh? @LauraBeth Thank you! (edited) 6y
Kaye Well.....I can remember it as one big blur. Our thoughts at the time were to have them all close together but now I wonder what the hurry was ? Maybe more spaced out would have been less hectic. Oh well a bit too late to change things. 6y
SilversReviews @Kaye We had EIGHT kids...three years apart except my brother and I - we are 13 months apart. I don‘t know how my mother did it. It was the 50‘s and 60‘s, though. I guess easier??? 6y
SilversReviews @Kaye Happy Birthday, Hubster. 😍😍😍 6y
SilversReviews @AmyG @Anna40 Love your comment. 6y
SilversReviews @Anna40 I‘m sure the first three years were very tough. 6y
SilversReviews @Kaye LOL on the conveyer belt comment. 6y
Kaye Thanks from the Hubster to @Amy @SilversReviews 😮 wow, silver. Your mom must have ha nerves of steel. 6y
SilversReviews @Kaye She was the sweetest person ever. 6y
AlaMich That photo...I love how they are looking in different directions. I don‘t know if they are identical? but something about that seems like it says something about their personalities. Am I right? 😊 6y
Velvetfur They are so gorgeous! Look at the little chubby cheeks, squeeeee! 💜 6y
Dragon So cute! 💕 6y
RohitSawant Happy Birthday to them! 🎂🎉🎉 6y
AmyG @AlaMich The are fraternal and as different as night and day. @Dragon @rohit-sawant @Velvetfur Thank you! @SilversReviews I can not imagine. I would have run away after #5. 6y

Suet624 Why do I keep forgetting you have twins? I‘m going to blame it on my age and the fact that I had twins too. 😀 6y
Djspens Happy birthday twins! 27 years ago Monday, I had twin boys! I've always called them my "opposite" twins. Couldn't be more different but if they were combined, they'd be my husband! 6y
AmyG @Djspens wow! Happy Birhday to your boys! Funny how two people born together can be so opposite. @Suet624 You understand! 6y
SleepyDragon That's funny, because the only way I could get a decent 2 yr pic of my b/g twins last year was by giving them a snack to make them sit still long enough. I guess some tactics still work 30 yrs later. Lol 6y
AmyG @NeesyBeth Ha! My brother-in-law is also a photographer, so that helps. ;) 6y
SleepyDragon We lucked out and hired a photographer who was very good and very patient. I did get a great print of my son holding up cheerios and smiling. Lol 6y
SleepyDragon Happy Birthday to your "kids." ? 6y
AmyG Enjoy your twins @NeesyBeth. ❤️ I miss those days. 6y

As for my #litsyhandle - it's pretty self explanatory. I've lived in California most of my life and Cay is short for my name Cayla. Fun fact about my name though! I have a twin brother and my mom wanted our names to match. So instead of Kris and Kayla our names our Chris and Cayla. Here's a pic of us as babies and the most recent pic we took a few months ago. Thanks @Chelleo for such a fun prompt!

Libby1 How lovely! 6y
Kaye That‘d be fun to have a twin....and a brother. I always wished I would‘ve had one. 6y
Suet624 Great photos. You both are beautiful! 6y

Eggs 😍😍 6y
biblio_ginger Your baby picture is so cute! 😄 Have you seen pictures online of siblings recreating childhood pictures? I think yours would be fun! 6y
Chelleo So cute! Loving those fros! I‘m not a twin but am part of a matching name set: Michelle and Michael (younger brother) (edited) 6y
MallenNC That is such a cute picture! 6y
CaliforniaCay Thanks y'all! And @biblio_ginger I have seen those pictures, but I never considered actually doing one. If we recreated this one now it'd be so creepy...but hilarious! I wonder if my bro would go for it 🤔 6y
biblio_ginger @CaliforniaCay 😂 Maybe! But if you guys do it I hope you share the pic on Litsy! 6y
CaliforniaCay @biblio_ginger will do! 🤗 6y

#LifeWithTwins 👧🏼👧🏼
Yes, I've been MIA. ⬆️These little ones have kept me quite busy the last month!⬆️ I'm still around enjoying scrolling through all your posts when I get a minute to myself. I'll try to pop in and out when I can but I will still always be around lurking 👀 and living vicariously through all your bookish posts! I apologize to anyone who I may have missed responding to in previous comments over the last few weeks.

I have a friend reading this book now. She is the mother of eight--year old twins. She told me was disturbed and I hastened to tell her that Cbloe and Sue are fictional characters, a testament to my twisted imagination and not what will happen to her kids. Also, her twins are fraternal. A boy and girl. Completely different.

You guys, this book is just too weird. Page 71, but still very unsure about where this is going. These twins have an unhealthy obsession with each other & I feel like I need to bathe after reading it.

[DELETED] 2437761296 I read that book years ago... I wasn't sure if I liked it throughout the entire thing, but it was so weird that I felt compelled to keep going. 8y
Notafraidofwords @margo_lane Same here. Although I hate the dog abuse. 8y
