This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel

3.0

2.5 stars. This book taught me a lot and has a lot of value, but the writing was frustrating and unrealistic. The story follows a family in which the youngest child struggles with his/her gender identity. Every child and adult knew exactly what to say and spoke with perfect articulation and never lost their cool. I just couldn't suspend that much disbelief to get in to the story.
