The How & the Why by Cynthia Hand

4.0

I wasn’t sure whether or not to give this book 3 or 4 stars, so count this as a 3.5. This was a cute book. While I sometimes had a hard time getting through the letters from Cass’ birth mom, I loved the idea of incorporating them into the story before finding out how they will find their way into Cass’ life. And that ending! So corny and unlikely, I will admit. And I found some bits predictable. But it made me smile, nonetheless. I do think Cass’ relationship with her parents was a bit too mushy and Danny-Tanner-giving-his-kids-a-life-lesson-with-emotional-music-playing-esque. But overall I thought this was a cute story and I enjoyed reading it.
