I read this book in about 2 days; I could barely put it down. I highly recommend it.
There were, however, a few things I didn't like about it (which are why I only gave it 4.5 stars instead of 5):
1- There is a character introduced near the beginning of the book who I felt like should have reconnected to some of the other characters but never did--even a brief chance meeting or a revelation of a distant relationship would've been enough for me.
2-There are two main characters (Georgia and Geoffrey) of which there is never a really good physical description. They're still relatable and likable, but it's just difficult to actually picture them. Come to think of it, Fairly isn't described all that specifically either (but better than the other two).
3- When addressing a mother with both biological & adopted kids, the biological kids are referred to as "yours" while the adopted kids are not. I know it's a tiny detail, but I also know it's a pet peeve for a lot of adoptive parents, so it stuck out to me.
4-The ending. While not exactly bad, it was not what I was expecting, & I think I would've liked my expected ending more.
But like I said, other than that is was great.
