This was a beautiful story of a modern family full of dreams, fears, shames, loves, hopes, and so much more. It’s an important book because these never family models are becoming more common but so many of them have no footprint to model their own after. Many are winging it with varying degrees of success. This book can let such families know where struggles might be more common than realized and where things deserve highlighting and celebrating. Acknowledges many of the ways this country is broken and what it means for this family without lasting blame or trying to solution it. Sounds like a beautiful family.

4.5
this book was really great. the authors writing style is beautiful, i was deeply engaged the entire book. i’ve never had a real life example of what having kids could look like as a queer person, and this was such a great model for me. it was a very honest, loving, and thoughtful depiction of motherhood and queer family. i’m so grateful for this book!
