Dancing Naked in Front of the Fridge: And Other Lessons from Twins

by Nancy J. Sipes

Great guide for parents of twins

Being the mother of twins, I am glad to read a book that lets me see what is happening inside the twin relationship. My twins are often in their own world and this book has helped me see what it's like in there! "Dancing Naked" is very informative, yet entertaining. I think all parents of twins should read it - - you'll learn some surprising things about twins.

Non-twins definitely can learn a few things from twins.

As a non-twin, I began reading Dancing NakedŠ (given to me by a twin friend) with low expectations. Surprisingly, I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written book. I am now far more aware of the special bond between twins and I will never look at my twin friends in the same way again. I also thank Ms & Ms Sipes for providing me with valuable insight into relationships of all kinds. Non-twins definitely can learn a few things from twins.

It'll touch every emotion - especially if you're a twin

After meeting the Sipes' in Twinsburg this past year, and getting to know them, I can really appreciate the thought and time that went into this project of theirs. Their book recounts wonderful tales of twins of all ages. You'll definitely laugh, and you may even cry. But, if you're a twin, you should definitely read the book because by reading these different tales, you'll soon realize that there are others just like you. Not just your other half, but other twins that know what you're dealing with day to day. Others that know how it feels to be a "side-show" just walking down the street. This is a delightful book and definitely deserves a second and a third reading.

Overall, you must be a twin to understand

I'm a twin and this book was interesting for me to read. It seemed a bit dull to read if your not a twin, but very enjoyable for anyone

Great insight for ALL relationships--fascinating stuff!

I had the pleasure of copyediting this book and although I'm not a twin (and neither is my editing partner, my husband) we both cried and laughed our way through it. We also learned a lot about what's good in our own relationship, and got to sneak into the private world of twins which these two delightful and wise women bravely shared (along with the 17 other sets of twins who shared their stories for the book). Ever been curious what it would be like to have a twin? Check this out. Know twins or are a twin? Nancy & Janna cover new territory here in a very personal, helpful, illuminating way. And their final chapter is lyrical and, well, sniffle . . . you'll see. This book is about TRUE LOVE between soul mates who speak without words and know without explanation--whether twins or not.
