Girls in Trouble by Caroline Leavitt
5.0
I really liked this one. I found myself wanting to know what was going to happen and it was hard to put the book down.
I didn't expect the book to cover so much time. It took leaps of 5, 10 years all at once and it surprised me each time. But I quickly got back into the story and followed the saga of these girls who just don't quite fit.
If I ever chose to adopt a child, I would be terrified of something like this happening -- an open adoption meaning the birth mother essentially claims your family as your own. There were times that I didn't know quite whose side to take.
