[Hannah S. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book so much. I will acknowledge that it only follows two people and they're both white, so not everyone will find their own stories represented in it. But I found it so touching, especially the concept of found family. I originally checked it out from my library and loved it so much I bought a copy. And then requested a new copy as a Christmas gift after I lost my original in a breakup. lol
