Foster by Claire Keegan

emotional sad fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

Something in me has been ripped out or pulled away. I want to pour over this book and pick apart the language and structure of it. Truly a well written novella.
5 stars is a feeling and this feeling is horribly empty and yet heartwarming all the same.
The last line broke me. I started sobbing uncontrollably and cried for half an hour after finishing the book. I still feel like crying thinking about it. But damnit Mr Kinsella is her dad now. Ambiguous endings normally upset me but this way I can live believing in my optimistic heart that she went to live with them and knew what love felt like. What a good dad was.
