Please give me all your books about twins or with twins as main characters or prominently featured side characters. (Also fine if they were a twin and now are not).
Preferably adult or young adult, and also fiction, but any genre is good.
A few I’ve already read that I can remember:
-For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten (did not like)
-
Twin Crowns triology by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber (liked)
-
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan Maguire (liked, twins side characters but feature heavily in the plot)
-
Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger (it was ok)

Phantom Limb by Lucinda Berry I believe is based on twin sisters if I remember correctly
I Know This Much is True, by Wally Lamb
The Identicals by Elin Hilderbrand. Estranged twins in either their late 30s or early 40s trade places. It’s fully about the twins and how they come to terms with the ends of previous relationships and the starts of new ones plus how they can learn to be family to each other again.
Faux Beau by Marina Adair is a romance surrounding a woman who has always had a crush on one twin but accidentally sleeps with the other when she mistakes him for his brother. (He does not know she thinks he’s his brother and makes no attempt to pretend to be his brother.)
[Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6572313-cutting-for-stone) (I will recommend this author any time I can. He is so good).
Edited to Add: [The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40440.The_Thirteenth_Tale)
The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy
Glory Season by David Brin. Sci fi.
The Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce
The twins in Every Heart a Doorway get their own book later in the series and it’s really good! Well, all the books are really good
I’ll Give you the Sun by Jandy Nelson
“I miss you, I miss you” by Peter Pohl and Kinna Gieth. Peter Pohl had written another book about twins, which Kinna and her twin sister read. When the sister died, Kinna contacted him and asked him to write their story.
Warning: will probably make you cry. A lot.
You probably already know this one, because it’s *the* twin novel: “Lisa and Lottie” by Erich Kästner, also released under the title “The Parent Trap” and the basis for the movie of the same name.
