A review by alexandralh
Far from the Tree by Robin Benway
2.0
3.5 stars.
I mean...it wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. Robin Benway gives us a very very very very SMALL glimpse into the lives of 3 teenagers who have the same bio mom, but were given up for adoption/foster care when they were born. I guess I read it for that reaso. (go adoption!) but it's like SO MANY THINGS were happening in this book because each person had their own (sad) story, but it wasn't enough (hence, small glimpse). I'd just like to know what kind of research she went through to write this book because I think it could've used more work. #harsh
