This book makes me wish “annoying” was a mood option … 
I really wanted this to be heartwarming, but the characters felt criminally one-dimensional and, as a result, the  message that Lucy Gilmore attempts to convey felt  incredibly forced. This truly is the first time found family has given me the ick, but I just couldn’t with this one.
