Twins Lit Author Interview with Sarah Pekkanen
Sarah Pekkanen, author of The Opposite of Me
“I just read the best book!” I’ve been saying that a lot lately about Sarah Pekkanen’s debut novel The Opposite of Me. The book is about fraternal twin sisters Lindsey Rose and Alex, the bond they share and the complexity of their relationship. It’s extremely funny, but also thought-provoking as well and I just loved it. The plot line is fresh and original and best of all, completely unpredictable. It held my attention right to the last page.
Read my interview with Sarah posted on our website to learn more about this great book and why Sarah choose twins as her main characters. This is definitely one author that you’ll want to keep an eye on.

Forget Perfect by Lisa Earle McLeod
This is one of my favorite books! I read it about 4 years ago and it literally changed my life. Forget Perfect is a smart and funny look at how trying to be perfect actually gets in the way of happiness, and how letting go of being perfect means raising standards to live life to the fullest and appreciate the things that really matter.
Gaga for Mama is our exclusive line of babywear that lets moms know how much they are loved and appreciated. Each one of our hand designed baby bodysuits feature an inspiring message for moms.
Also available are coordinating pants, bibs, and hats in our super-soft cotton.
If you’re the winner of this prize, you’ll receive a bodysuit, pants, bib and hat in your choose of design, color and size.
Good luck! You can view all of the prizes by following this link.
