Family Family by Laurie Frankel

3.75

 Family Family was a new perspective on the adoption story. I appreciated the various perspectives employed in telling the story, and I especially liked Fig's narrative style. The book deals with adoption not as a last resort or as something that is inherently traumatic, but rather a conscious and beneficial choice. I also liked the portrayal of the media to try to put someone in a distinct box about their values, and I liked India's strong desire to not be labeled. Overall, there were a few issues I had about believability of a few plot points, but overall it was an enjoyable read of a different type of "family family."
