You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone
You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone | Rachel Lynn Solomon
12 posts | 16 read | 53 to read
A moving, lyrical debut novel about twins who navigate first love, their Jewish identity, and opposite results from a genetic test that determines their fate--whether they inherited their mother's Huntington's disease. Eighteen-year-old twins Adina and Tovah have little in common besides their ambitious nature. Viola prodigy Adina yearns to become a soloist--and to convince her music teacher he wants her the way she wants him. Overachiever Tovah awaits her acceptance to Johns Hopkins, the first step on her path toward med school and a career as a surgeon. But one thing could wreck their carefully planned futures: a genetic test for Huntington's, a rare degenerative disease that slowly steals control of the body and mind. It's turned their Israeli mother into a near stranger and fractured the sisters' own bond in ways they'll never admit. While Tovah finds comfort in their Jewish religion, Adina rebels against its rules. When the results come in, one twin tests negative for Huntington's, and the other tests positive. These opposite outcomes push them farther apart as they wrestle with guilt, betrayal, and the unexpected thrill of first love. How can they repair their relationship, and is it even worth saving? From debut author Rachel Lynn Solomon comes a luminous, heartbreaking tale of life, death, and the fragile bond between sisters.

Took me longer to read due to….mental health. Great book about how different young adults deal with big life decisions.

Adina and Tovah are twins who have little in common. Each has a plan for their future but first they need to see if they have Huntington's like their mother. When they go get the results on twin finds out she has it, while the other twin doesn't. Now each twin has to deal with the news that each one of them was dealt. I can't imagine being given this news. The author didn't an amazing job writing this book. Can't wait to read what she writes next

My book arrived safe and sound, together with the #giveaway the author organized ❤️. It will take a while until I have time to read because my TBR is so full at the moment but I‘m looking forward to it. I hope my other giveaways are as good as this. #weekend #saturday #newbook #youngadult

Twin sisters. One a musician, one pre-med. One a devote Jew, one questioning her faith. One tests negative for Huntington's disease, the other tests positive.

I'm 100 pages in and will probably read past my bedtime tonight. Stack this one, folks. 💔

kamoorephoto So you‘re saying I should buy this and meet her on Saturday?! 6y
GondorGirl @kamoorephoto That's an option?! Yes! 6y

I ordered this book 📖 yesterday but it will take a few weeks until it‘s delivered 😔. The author promised every preorder a bookmark, a signed bookplate and a exclusive digital short story that takes place after the book ends sooooooo I‘m really excited for that too!! My first #FairyLoot will also (hopefully) arrive this month ❤️. #newyear #newbooks
