Spoilers in this review!
This book was too rambling for me, and it left a sour taste in my mouth when I realized it was written so authoritativelyby someone without the lived experience of homelessness. However what struck me most was the whole theme of the book was finding a life and family on your own terms, but then Maddy ends up seeking her mom out, and the book ends there like that was all she needed all along. So being like everyone else ends up being a good thing.
