Where We Belong by Emily Giffin

2.0

Where We Belong just didn't do it for me. The plot was generic (adopted kid tracks down long-lost parents, begins to love them, folds them into her life and makes "one big happy family.") Vanilla plots can be redeemed by lovable characters, but that didn't really happen here. Marian is immature, weak, and completely overshadowed by all the other characters. Kirby is just okay; I didn't find her very realistic, and I'm exactly her age. Conrad is the one likable character but he's not present nearly enough.
That said, I was glad the ending wasn't completely neat and tidy. Conrad and Marian will probably end up together, but it's left for the reader to imagine their future.
