Interesting story about twins who are looking for their biological father via a podcast. A media storm kicks off and we are taken along for the ride when the twins appear on national tv and become the focus of a national controversy. The real father is introduced as a character as well. Entertaining and original, this is an enjoyable story from start to finish.

The premise of this entertaining novel is simple: teen twins Savannah and Thomas are being raised by Maggie, their maternal grandmother. Their mother died when they were twelve and they've never known who their father is so they decide to find out. Instead of going the usual route of a DNA test, they create a podcast series that ends up gaining a viral social media following. With visibility comes notoriety and things get so out of hand that it nearly ruins their lives. Even worse, it could upend the close-knit family that they have and could even potentially stop them from ever connecting their father.

Gretchen Anthony's voice engaged me right from the first paragraph. Using delicate skill, she plunges the reader into the perspectives of various characters in turn. Her technique is all showing, so it saves a whole heck of a lot telling and the pages fly by. Thoroughly enjoyable.

I went into this knowing zero about the plot as I could not find even a tiny description anywhere. It was a nice enough story but nothing really hooked me here. I think I like a little more drama in my books. But still, a decent story with likable characters.
