reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

It was my fault for starting this one thinking it was a thriller. But until the day that the earth swallows me up, I will stand by

that Jack is totally Robyn's brother. It's way too suspicious. The lady down the street took the baby and gave him a different name?? The baby just looked like a blob of clothes?? The mom acted all weird about the sperm donor thing?? I'm absolutely convinced.

But I thought it was a touching look at finding family later in life and that we're all really just looking for support.
