Oh wow, this is my first Susan Walter book, but it certainly won’t be my last, this was simply incredible. Jane just lost her dad when she finds out that he had led a double life. Then there is sixteen-year-old adopted Adam, who’s going through some typical teenage angst when he finds letters written to him from his biological mom. Eventually, we learn how Jane and Adam are connected through decades of family trauma and drama. Still, it’s not what you think. These two characters took me along on their emotional journeys and gave me all the feels. There are heavy topical themes within this story, such as infertility, grief, and other mental health issues abound.
This book sucked me right away with all the family secrets. The author seamlessly weaves Jane and Adam’s story together with such talent and sensitivity. Both characters are complex, yet relatable. I loved how surprised I was reading this one. It was a truly emotional and heartwarming story that I will not soon forget. The twists and turns had me furiously flipping pages and made me think of my own many recent losses, including my dad seven months ago. I can’t recommend this one enough. All. The. Stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
