Newsweek selected No Two Persons for its Best Books of 2023 list. The magazine’s Senior Editor Meredith Wolf called it: “A breathtaking novel about the power a book can have. It takes you inside the hearts of a complex web of broken personalities, empowered and made whole by the same book. The characters brought to life are delicately interwoven throughout, forming a seamless, beautiful fabric.” The audiobook of No Two Persons won an Audie Award for multi-voiced performance.
 
Community members may borrow No Two Persons as a book, eBook or eAudiobook from local libraries or purchase it from Village Books, which donates a percentage of each sale to Whatcom READS.
 
Leading up to the author events in March 2025, the librarians, library staff and booksellers on the Whatcom READS planning committee will offer free community programs that explore themes from No Two Persons. Inspired by the book, the 2025 Whatcom WRITES prompt is “The Book That Changed My Life.” Visit Whatcom READS website, whatcomreads.org, and social media pages for updates and to get involved.
