Unfortunately, he catches me checking him out and grins. “Rough night. I was still sleeping not even fifteen minutes ago.”
“Nice,” I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
“Uh-huh.” His gaze roams over me, lingering on spots that make me vaguely uncomfortable. “What about you? You have a rough one, too?”

His friend scoffed, “Oh, I’m coming with you all right, but not going to sign up. I’m coming to make sure the old hag knows exactly the kind of gal you need.” He made an exaggerated hourglass gesture with his hands.
Three days later, Richard waited for his appointment in an elegantly appointed silvery gray waiting room with a pristine view of the Empire State Building. Spencer flipped through books full of women’s profiles like he was a kid in a candy store.
“Look at this one! Yowza, Richie, I think you might be on to something with this matchmaker thing after all.”

Title: You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone

Author: Rachel Lynn Solomon

Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary

Eighteen-year-old twins Adina and Tovah have little in common besides their ambitious nature. Viola prodigy Adina yearns to become a soloist—and to convince her music teacher he wants her the way she wants him. Overachiever Tovah awaits her acceptance to Johns Hopkins, the first step on her path toward med school and a career as a surgeon.
But one thing could wreck their carefully planned futures: a genetic test for Huntington’s, a rare degenerative disease that slowly steals control of the body and mind. It’s turned their Israeli mother into a near stranger and fractured the sisters’ own bond in ways they’ll never admit. While Tovah finds comfort in their Jewish religion, Adina rebels against its rules.
When the results come in, one twin tests negative for Huntington’s. The other tests positive.
These opposite outcomes push them farther apart as they wrestle with guilt, betrayal, and the unexpected thrill of first love. How can they repair their relationship, and is it even worth saving?
From debut author Rachel Lynn Solomon comes a luminous, heartbreaking tale of life, death, and the fragile bond between sisters.

Here is my teaser:

“Sancha!” Maria burst into the far bedroom – wailing child in her arms – and lurched at her sleeping daughter, grabbing her arm more tightly than she intended. “Sancha, he won’t take the bottle. He won’t calm down. You have to-”
“Mmmnn.”
“Sancha! Your baby needs you.”
On cue, the confirming shriek sliced through the night, stabbing at the teenager’s fragile disposition.
“Aaahh!” Sancha screamed back. “Make him stop!” She covered her ears. “It hurts!”
