A review by polyanna_nas
Home of Her Heart by Tara Goldstein

emotional hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

3.5

The story was fine and I learned a lot about transnational adoption (a topic I hadn't really thought about before). However, it took me about two thirds of the novel to really connect to the protagonist, leaving me to be annoyed with her some times during the story. She's a teenager after all - but after reading other reviews, I suppose the telling-not-showing writing style didn't help, either.
Still I'm happy I won this at a giveaway, and I liked it better than expected!
