Family Family by Laurie Frankel

2.0

An important and wholesome representation of child adoption with some effective use of dialogue and tension Unfortunately the characters share too many similar traits and remain mostly undeveloped, making it difficult for the characters to root for them as real people. Moreover, the flashbacks seem to explain too much rather than complicate, resulting in an overlong plot with events that tend not to push the main narrative arc. The writing style was also repetitive, which drags down the book for many parts. 2.5/5
