The Lost Family by Jenna Blum

5.0

For the record, books don’t make me weepy but I nearly cried at the end of this one. That’s how good it was.

It’s a love story.. a love story between Peter.. his first family and Peter and his second family. The complicated love felt between family members. The “lost” family to me was both physical (first family) and mental (second family.)

I love historical fiction. I love historical fiction based in NYC. I love stories told from the perspective of different narrators. This book had all these things and more. Yes it’s 400 pages but I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know what happened in the future with Peter, June and Elsbeth.

I’ll definitely be recommending this to everyone!
