Early Morning Riser by Katherine Heiny
4.0
emotional funny hopeful lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was such a pleasant surprise! I did not anticipate how much I would enjoy the quirkiness of this novel, and how these characters would weasel their way into my heart (I'm looking at you, Gary). I already know that they will remain with me, even though done reading about them. Aren't those the best kind of reads?!

If I had to sum it up, this novel is about learning to make a family and growing to love them.
