Separated @ Birth by Anaïs Bordier and Samantha Futerman 362.734 Bro

   
Fascinating book!  It is an entertaining read and best of all it is true.  Imagine two women who were born in South Korea.  One was adopted as the only child of a French couple.  Her passion is fashion.  The other was adopted into an American family who already had two biological sons.  She becomes an actress.  They both have great childhoods.  One day a friend of Anaïs sends her a You Tube video he saw on the internet because the actress looked so much like her.  Social media changed her life.  This is the story of how she (with a little help from her friends) tracked down the name of the actress and finally makes contact with her.

The story is told in alternating voices of the two women.  Neither adoptive family was every told that their daughter had a twin.  It is a fast read and will keep your interest from beginning to end.
