Joyce Maynard's The Good Daughters
So two little girls are born on the same day in 1949, and the story is told in their alternating POVs. One is a serious little girl who wants to be a farmer growing up in a family of dreamy artists, while the other is a dreamy artist growing up in a family of serious farmers. Gee, I wonder what the big twist will be. It is a little bit annoying that it's all so obvious to the reader, but takes forever for the two daughters to figure out. Luckily, their stories are interesting enough to keep momentum going, even if the end feels a little bit unrealistic. B+/B.
