5 stars Reader's Review (hardcover edition) from Amazon.com
'The novel lives up to the wit of its premise... hilarious situations...Yet there's a touching story here too...an entirely recognizable sense of how hard it often is to live in a world with other people."
Cosmopolitan Magazine
'...if you just want a satisfying, mind-bending reading experience, you will find what you are looking for in She and I..."
Mindi Dickstein, St. Petersburg (Florida) Times
'The questions that She and I make us ask are the endlessly fascinating ones...where is the real freakishness? In being a Jew? A woman? An intellectual? In not being pretty? In being desperately in love? Or is it really in being tied by a band of flesh to The Other, to the worst...nightmare any of us have?"
Amy Wallace, Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review
'Through Lottman's masterful handling of her material, suspense is maintained...to the last page."
Barbara Rich, Women's Review of Books
'...an extraordinary book. I read it months ago and the impression stayed with me so long that I've decided I must read it again and recommend it to all my friends (many of whom are writers, as I am)."
Dale Rhonda Burg, by unsolicited postcard to the author
'I was in stitches reading She and I. The use of the title is a howl in itself. There are so many funny scenes-the baseball game-all that sorority stuff that rings so true to an old 'sister.' The absurdity of the situation heightens, if anything, the ring of authenticity...a great read."
Michele Lapautre, literary agent, Paris, France

unforgettable
16 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
I read this book a number of years ago and just can't get it out of my mind. Eileen Lottman is a master writer who is unbelievably adept at getting into the mindset of her characters. She writes as if she herself has experienced the excruciating life of a siamese twin. The story of how these twins (both girls) grow up and become women is facinating. We even hear of their first sexual experiences. If you have a super curious mind and enjoy a story quite odd, you will LOVE this book.

Read the first release, 1991
19 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
Originally read the book in 1991. I was on a mission to read all the new releases at the library that summer, so I came across this one by chance. Recently, I looked this book up, then couldn't find it, so I thought maybe I'd misremembered its existence. Hard to find before it's paperback release. This was a book before it's time! Very strange and engrossing, like a David Lynch movie.

I got this book on sale and found it to be a very good book. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the incidents , and also found it very intersting.
