2.0

Whimsical and nostalgic but I was too stuck on everything that the main character should NOT be doing with a child as a teacher's aide. Telling a 7 year old to keep a secret, making sure he has your phone number, placing him on your lap and giving him kisses before you were even considered as an adoptive mother? Felt completely unethical. The rest of the book was unremarkable.
