Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones
The sisters of Silver Sparrow are bound by unusual circumstances — their father is a bigamist, straddling the line between his public family and his secret one. When the two girls meet and become friends, only one of them knows their true bond, and the tension that follows is breathtaking.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Fangirl is about sisters growing apart, and how one girl specifically carves out her own space in a world she used to share with her twin. Cath and Wren grew up obsessed with the Simon Snow series — diving into forums, writing fan fiction, dressing up in costumes for the midnight premieres — but now that they're starting college, Wren has moved away from the fandom and from Cath. How will Cath figure freshman year out without her partner at her side?

Atlas of Unknowns by Tania James
Linno and Anju, the sisters of Atlas of Unknowns, spend their lives reaching out for each other — over the wound of their mother's mysterious death, which left them in the care of their ailing father and superstitious grandmother; across the miles that separate them when Anju travels to the U.S. on a prestigious scholarship; even (and especially) when Anju drops out and runs away to Queens, leaving Linno on the other side of the world trying to find her. Theirs is a story about the independence of striking out on your own, the comfort in settling into a home, and the struggle of being pulled in both directions.
