I will admit, this book really hits close to home for me and took me a bit to get through.  I raised my own niece from the time she was 11, my best decision and best friend. The subject matter felt so familiar and very much mirrored certain aspects about being thrust into parenthood. It’s hard and messy, especially if you’re someone with a Type-A personality. This book is worth the hype. It’s worth all the love it gets. Lucy did a beautiful job with these characters, it was a fantastic read filled with laughter and a few tears, full steam ahead (every man could learn a thing or two from Knox Morgan) and a great introduction to Knockemout. Naomi Witt, you have my heart! Starting Book Two now!
