My Kind of People
by Lisa Duffy
Residents of a small town on Ichabod Island in Massachusetts rally around 10 year old, Sky, who just lost her adoptive parents in a tragic accident. Leo, Sky’s parents best friend and her new guardian, is doing what he can to make his husband happy and do right by Sky, but as they say, it takes a village.
In this story of small town life all of our characters are connected in some way. We get alternating POV each chapter from Sky, Leo, teacher Maggie, and an unnamed POV (who is identified later in the book). The book touches on a number of different topics (loss of a parent, race, sexuality, sexual harassment/assault & the me too movement, and familial archetypes), using them like buzz words, never really going too deep into any one. The book was a bit underwhelming to me, but with good writing and well developed characters it was a quick and easy read.
