It’s not that I’m reading stories about adoption all the time. (I know you’re really jealous right now! :)) You can probably imagine that my interests for this book became very personal. The fun thing is, I was adopted and came to the Netherlands exactly 24 years ago today! We celebrate this day every year because it’s kind of a second birthday. I’m born in India and got adopted when I was four months old to a Dutch couple. Personalīefore I jump in the book, I wanted to share the reason this book was so special to me before I even read it. After seventeen years in the foster care system, he’s learned that there are no heroes, and secrets and fears are best kept close to the vest, where they can’t hurt anyone but him. And when her adopted family’s long-buried problems begin to explode to the surface, Maya can’t help but wonder where exactly it is that she belongs.Īnd Joaquin, their stoic older bio brother, who has no interest in bonding over their shared biological mother. Having grown up the snarky brunette in a house full of chipper redheads, she’s quick to search for traces of herself among these not-quite-strangers. Maya, her loudmouthed younger bio sister, who has a lot to say about their newfound family ties. After putting her own baby up for adoption, she goes looking for her biological family, including.

I was so curious to this story and the good thing about it is I gave it five stars! Summaryīeing the middle child has its ups and downs.

A book that I’ve seen very often at the end of 2017 is Far from the tree written by Robin Benway. It’s not that I’m following a lot of different Booktubers, but I did subscribed myself for a few. 🙂 Please keep in mind that English is not my native speaking. But once in a while you’ll find an English written one here. I’m not writing all my reviews in English. Since I’ve got so many requests about writing my reviews in English, I’ve decided to give it a try.
