nefrethstringham 's review for:
Family Family
by Laurie Frankel
Thank you to NetGalley and Henry Holt & Company Publishing for the advanced review of this book.
I adored Family Family. It is clear that Frankel writes about what she knows and she doesn’t shy away from complicated and nuanced topics….this book is all about adoption, and her creativity and imagination in building this story is really striking.
India is an incredible protagonist- imagine the most straight-forward practical person you know, and then pump them full of drama, optimism, grace, confidence ,and a little magical thinking (the good kind) and this is India. I want her to be my mom. I want to be her friend. This is a story that really takes place in the span of a week but it does jump back and forth in time to give the reader more insight into how India got to the current week she is living. A book about family (and what that looks like in all its’ amazing forms), parenting, siblings, growing up.
“Family begets family” - Read it. ❤️
