" Thanks for reading and reviewing. Much appreciated. "
In the Family Way by Laney Katz Becker
"this book felt a bit heavy handed at times, and I wanted more character development for some of the side characters like Robin and Sarah, but I really enjoyed the setting/time frame of pre-Roe and especially loved how the story wrapped up. "
