The Opposite of Everyone by Joshilyn Jackson

5.0

Born to a mother in prison, Paula Vauss (Kali Jai) spent her early years traveling around the South once her mother was released. Going from place to place and boyfriend to boyfriend, her mother told her stories and homegrown mythology. The story flips between her current life as a divorce lawyer and her childhood and time in foster homes. You quickly become invested in Paula, her PI friend and the other characters you meet along her journey, her estrangement from her mother and eventual search for what happened to mother. Wonderful book. Highly recommended
