Double Time: How I Survived — and Mostly Thrived — through the First Three Years of Mothering Twins. Jane Roper, $16.99

Jane Roper never expected she’d have twins — or that they’d be such a spirited twosome. She didn’t expect that finding the right balance of work and home would be so tricky. And she certainly didn’t expect to grapple with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder during her daughters’ toddler years. But she also didn’t anticipate how much joy, laughter, and self-discovery motherhood would bring.

Full of warmth, honesty, occasional advice, and a generous helping of humor, DOUBLE TIME is a smart and engaging account of the first three years with multiples, and a refreshingly candid and vulnerable look at clinical depression.

One and the Same: My Life as an Identical Twin and What I’ve Learned about Everyone’s Struggle to Be Singular. Abigail Pogrebin, $17.00

In One and the Same, journalist Abigail Pogrebin presents a tapestry of twinship, weaving science reporting and personal memoir with the revelatory stories of other twins —  such as two sisters who stopped speaking for three years; football stars Tiki and Ronde Barber, who admit their twinship comes before their marriages; a pair of bawdy, self-proclaimed “twin ambassadors” who have created a media empire around their twinness; and brothers whose shared genetic anomaly wrought unspeakable tragedy. In this stirring account, Pogrebin shows how living identical is both a celebration of sameness and a struggle for singularity that defines us all.
