LOVED this book! Such a beautiful story that centers around adoption. I loved the smart dialogue, witty banter, and laugh out loud moments. The characters were lovable and had depth. It was packed with emotion and heart. Definitely recommend this one!

I love Laurie Frankel's books. Contemporary family stories with smart and precocious kids, adults who are flawed but do their best, all built on love of a family, however it is formed or evolves. This book centers on the topic of adoption and explores what constitutes a "real" family. The audio was excellent.
