Mika in Real Life by Emiko Jean

5.0

Wow. Emiko has done it again…

My dad was adopted, and I’m wanting to adopt myself, so I knew instantly that I would enjoy this book. It exceeded my expectations.

The story of Mika and her struggles through a sexual assault, lost love, losing hobbies, and what many would call “mommy issues” nearly brought me to tears. Despite being a fiction story—it was so real. I felt every emotion in this book (LOTS of them), and am confident in saying that this is one of my favorite reads of the year.

I want a second one. I want more. Yet, I’m still satisfied with how this ended. You know it’s good when you want more
