The How & the Why, by Cynthia Hand
5.0
This book! It did not disappoint.
It’s a book about theatre kids, about growing up, about choosing a college, about awkward teenage moments, about adoption, about what life looks like when you are facing the death of a loved one, about a teenager trying to give her unborn child her best life.
The story alternates between an 18 year old in present day and letters from her teenage birth mom.
The ending is perfection which I both loved and hated. My eyes were not dry. How’s that for cryptic?
