About this listen
When Lucy Brennan, a Miami Beach personal fitness trainer, disarms a gunman chasing two frightened homeless men, the police and the breaking-news cameras are not far behind and, within hours, Lucy is a media hero. The solitary eye-witness is the depressed and overweight Lena Sorensen, who becomes obsessed with Lucy and signs up as her client - though she seems more interested in the trainer’s body than her own.
When the two women find themselves more closely aligned, and can’t stop thinking about the sex lives of Siamese twins, the real problems start....
In the aggressive, foul-mouthed trainer Lucy Brennan, and the needy, manipulative Lena Sorensen, Irvine Welsh has created two of his most memorable female protagonists, and one of the most bizarre, sado-masochistic folies à deux in contemporary fiction.
Featuring murder, depravity and revenge - and enormous amounts of food and sex - The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins taps into two great obsessions of our time - how we look and where we live - and tells a story so subversive and dark it blacks out the Florida sun.

Another amazing Irvine Welsh novel
Irvine Welsh never fails to amaze me. This novel really captures some very female perspectives which for a male writer is genius. Also just as you think you know where these characters are heading in their downward chaotic spiral, the ending still has the ability to surprise you. Classic Welsh.

Excellent
As ever Irvine Welsh, gives an original and exceptional story that holds you to the very end. This book as all of his books deal with real people and real life situations across a multitude of scenarios. I can't recommend it enough.

loved it!
I read lots of Irvine Welsh as a teenager growing up in Glasgow and tackled the same books as a young adult when I could understand them better. This is totally left field to the grimey Scottish genres of previous reads, yet still incredibly twisted.
Although written a few years back, the book feels current and will resonate with anyone familiar with calorie counting and appearance focused modifications with some journeys of self discovery and a good whack of sex and violence thrown in. Thanks Welsh! your books never fail to leave me wanting more.
I enjoyed the narrator who switches between the characters well. only 4 stars as the drawl of the accent was just a bit harsh on my ears at times, but then I think that was what was intended.
