As a transracial millennial adoptee, this book hit home in so many ways. Told through two perspectives-Zinnia and Tuesday- this book weaves a unique tale of family and friendship. Book loving gen-z adoptee Zinnia is looking for the final touch to her Harvard essay when her best friend Milo gives her a book- a book that she begins to believe is about her. We follow Zinnia on her quest to unravel a long lost story. Tuesday is an 18 year old who made an impossible decision and spends every day living with the results. Together, these two lives intertwine in a moving way.

Thank you, Brittney Morris for writing this story.

This book was so, so, SO good. This was one of my first contemporary fiction reads in a while and I can truly say it didn’t disappoint.

This story follows Zinnia as she unravels the mystery around her adoption/birth mother. Along the way we get to see her learn a lot about herself, her anxiety, her identity - and I enjoyed every moment. Being a teenager is ROUGH, and this story really spoke to how difficult it is to manage big feelings and perceived familial expectations when you’re experiencing everything for the first time. Additionally, her mom’s story??? My god.

Absolutely recommend - and thank you to the publisher for this e-arc!!
