This was the first book I've read by A.M. Homes. I was expecting a little more but I can't say this isn't a good book. I read this months ago so details aren't coming to mind very easily but I do remember the basic story.
I remember vividly how honest the story seemed. I think a lot of the time, especially with something so personal as this, an author glides over certain aspects, whether to save themself the hurt or whatever else. Homes didn't seem to do this as far as I could tell.
I suggest this to someone wanting to read and learn more about what it's like for a child who was adopted to have their birth mother come into their life all of a sudden. I think the key thing here, with Homes' story, is that she was fine without her and didn't really want her in her life.
