Finally read a CoHo book. I can see the hype- and even though this isn't the (most) hyped book of hers, I enjoyed it for the most part. There were a handful of grammar mistakes that caught my attention. I didn't like the "but he's your father" guilt-trip-like comments. Did like how it shows how we can be more understanding of each other and our situations. Though not the best way, it was definitely A WAY of illustrating empathy and forgiveness.
