I thought about this book when I wasn’t reading it, and I couldn’t wait to get back to it. I absolutely love how she puts ideas and feelings into words in a way that feels simultaneously so obvious (but “obvious” in that I chided myself for knowing exactly what she meant but could never phrase it myself) and so enlightening. Plus, she’s funny.
If adoption has touched your life…you will find sweetness in this book. The family complications are so true to life!
fast-paced
“It’s good to know love, and it’s good to know love is not enough. It’s good to know love, and it’s good to know love is not an obligation.”
I’m really glad I stayed with this book till the end. There were a few points where I was going to give up, but the characters kept me interested. Even though it’s kind of a far-fetched premise, the character development is so good. Grankel’s got a gift for characters.
I do enjoy Frankel's style of writing even if it can be a bit convoluted and even though India seemed wildly unbelievable (two unplanned pregnancies in her senior years of high school and college???)
Lost a little steam, but a warm and cozy story. Loved the dialogue. *Throws confetti*
This book was so beautiful. I laughed, I ugly cried, I yelled. I loved it. I already can’t wait to read it again!
How am I so lucky to have a 2024 favorite already!
Family Family… where do I even start?! My reading experience was superb… I haven’t read this author before but have heard great things! Also a PNW local… the cover immediately grab my attention as well as a short blurb about adoption and it being a family drama.
With short chapters alternating time periods and constant jaw dropping bombs throughout. I highly recommend going in with very little info. I think not reading the synopsis made the surprises sprinkled throughout more… OMG WOW… I MUST KEEP READING.
Adoption is a theme I gravitate towards. My mom was adopted and it’s been a journey finding out info and much like what happens in the book everyone has a different journey and it’s just so refreshing to read stories like these.
Also make sure to read the authors powerful note at the end.

3.5 this book felt chaotic to read, which I think was the point. I liked both alternating stories, but felt like they got too wordy at times.
