Brianna, why are you the way that you are? I'm not a judgemental person (lol) but she really needs to stop having children, it's incredibly irresponsible. There was a lot going on here, and I enjoyed watching the tensions rise and bubble to the surface (and occasionally explode). The negative energy was a lot from Elizabeth and I found her chapters really hard to read. Ginger was also so bitter for no reason. I really loved Tabitha and felt like she was the only character who was really complex - we can see how hard she's trying to build a loving family on her own terms but how it keeps backfiring. The letters from the prospective adoptive families in between chapters were so touching.
