This is a great book about families - adoptive or not. I loved the writing, and I’m proud I got some of the references I might not usually understand. I wondered at some of the twists, but know now they had to be included. And now I like to imagine how these families will keep in touch throughout the years ahead of them. (I liked the other book I read by her better - This Is How It Always Is - but this one was totally worth it.)
