Praise |
"Frankel has written a funny, heart-wrenching, deeply personal story about the meaning of family and holding fast to one's beliefs. India is the star of Frankel's novel, but the supporting characters are warm and vibrant, each getting their own opportunity to shine. Highly recommended for fans of Frankel and those who enjoy literary fiction featuring witty dialogue and thought-provoking topics." - Library Journal (starred) ". . . Frankel offers a hilarious and sobering view of adoptive parenting through her portrayals of the cheerful and honest India and Rebecca's open-minded adoptive mother . . . this is great fun." - Publishers Weekly "Frankel finds the truth of modern family within the sparkly, funny characters." - Booklist "Frankel's back! Without giving away too much of her dizzying plot, which is supercharged with cliffhanger chapter endings and parallel reveals, the novel is dedicated to the premise that not every adoption story is one of trauma along the way we will enjoy many fine young characters (Kevin Wilson fans who haven't yet tried Frankel should) and classic Frankelisms . . . Full of warmth, humor, and sound advice." - Kirkus |
