5.0

Laurie Frankel is supremely skilled at crafting complicated, realistic and absolutely unforgettable characters. She drops them into situations that you didn't see coming, and she keeps them safe while they find their way out. This book in particular would be a great fit for fans of Angie Kim's 'Miracle Creek.' One thing I especially liked about the community Frankel created in this novel is the perspective it provides on ableism and disability rights, although that's not the central tension of the storyline. This will be a Top 10 Book of 2021 for me.
