I didn’t like the characters enough to feel invested in their stories. Did enjoy the plot twists though!

I enjoyed The Other Mother; however, I think I should mention that contemporary fiction doesn't tend to be my favorite genre, and that definitely impacted my appreciation of this novel. Additionally, the name 'Jenry' is just so bad that it took me out of the text entirely any time I read it. Apologies to anyone named 'Jenry' who might be reading this review. I found the concept interesting, but I'm not sure it was executed in the most prudent manner.

“Try to remember, this isn't some solitary journey you're on, where you get more points if you do it without assistance.
This life thing, it's a group sport." She rubs the tears from Juliet's face. "You don't have to go through it alone.’”

This book is the story of not only a boy's journey to find out more about his father, but also the story of a family's journey to accept the unconventional way their family works. I love the differing viewpoints and the raw emotion that Harper was able to express in this story. Would totally listen to another book by this author. Lots of details, small things that really brought the story together.
