*I WAS SENT A PHYSICAL COPY IN RETURN FOR AN HONEST REVIEW*

Wow. Just... wow. I always wondered what it would be like to be adopted, and reading this book gave me some insight on that. My mom and dad have had thoughts about adoption, and after reading this book, I hope they go through with it.

This book gave me a heart of feels. It made me cry, laugh, scream, and die all at the same time. I know it took me a while to read this, but that's because of how much I enjoyed this. Like I said before, I was all sorts of emotional while reading this book.

I always knew that there were some kids who would be a bit rebellious after being adopted, but I didn't know there would be so many who would be so open and willing. I think the hardest story to read in this book, was the story about the mom giving up her child, but without realizing it, was talking to her child from the future. That part absolutely KILLED me.

I loved everything about this story; the plots, the characters, the themes, everything. If I had the chance to read something like this in the future, I would take it in a heartbeat. This book was so moving and touching to the heart. I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone, whether you are adopted or not. This book holds meaning to everyone. For that, I give this book 5/5 stars.
