The Midnight Twins by Jacquelyn Mitchard

The Midnight Twins is about twin sisters, Mallory and Meredith, who are just like twins should be. They can read one another's minds and feel one another's pain. They are so completely close and everyone loves them. Their lives are interrupted when a fire starts at their aunt's house as the sisters are babysitting their cousins and younger brother on New Year's Eve. They save everyone but something happens to Mallory and Meredith; they can no longer know how the other is or feel what the other feels. This scares the sisters and alters their relationship.

This book was very interesting and easy to read. The chapters may be a little long and I find it takes longer to read a book with long chapters, but I enjoyed finding out how the sisters dealt with their problems. They were a great support team and I was reminded of the one I have with my youngest sister. We may not be able to read each other's minds like Mallory and Meredith, but we do support and help each other.
