I have really enjoyed reading this book. The characters were interesting and well drawn and the plot threw up ethical questions of what makes someone a parent, interracial adoption, privilege & class, our right to judge others and finding the right place in the world. At times it seemed Mia was a little too perfect in guessing what teenagers want and need but she's an interesting character. All the other characters are as well and the family dynamics were well drawn
