Far from the Tree by Robin Benway
5.0
This book got me interesting! I like Young adult books. This book is about generosity, acceptance, and tolerance—all rooted in the insight that love can transcend every prejudice. This book is all about three teens with complicated relationships to their origin stories. This book is a touching story about the strength and love of unconventional families and the unbreakable bond of siblings near and far.
Grace is an only child who was adopted at birth, discovering that she is a middle child is a different ride altogether. Maya, her loudmouthed younger bio sister, has a lot to say about their newfound family ties. Having grown up the snarky brunette in a house full of chipper redheads, she’s quick to search for traces of herself among these not-quite-strangers and And Joaquin, their stoic older bio brother, who has no interest in bonding over their shared biological mother.
I agree that Grace is an only child and the time comes she got pregnant to peach. Maya is a lesbian. She is in love with Claire. Joaquin is living with his foster parents. He doesn't want to talk about their biological mother. Grace wants to go find her bio mother but Joaquin and Maya don't.
