Our favorite twins from The Only Me are back!
Twin sisters, Stella and Paige are different in a lot of ways – especially when it comes to how much they like to talk. Paige is super chatty, while Stella’s a bit more soft-spoken. The truth is, Paige often speaks FOR Stella.
Stella’s always been okay with being the quiet one . . . until now. Suddenly, Stella has something to say. But can she find a way to make her own voice heard over Paige’s? And will learning to use her own brave voice hurt Paige’s feelings—and their special relationship?
A 5-star review from LitPick “When people think of twins, they often think of people who look and act alike.

For the first time in my life I went ahead and did a thing that was not perfectly planned or meticulously thought out… one day I opened up my laptop and began writing a children’s book. Okay, let me backtrack here just a little bit. I guess I can’t say in all truthfulness that it […]
When I was younger, I always wanted a twin sister. I didn’t actually realize this was an impossibility until I was maybe 7 or 8. And even then, this realization didn’t stop me from desiring it so, so badly. I was always a nervous, anxious kid. I didn’t have anxiety in the way that it […]
March 10, 2016 Tonight is a bittersweet one.
