Review
High school English teacher Polly Goodman can talk about everything and anything with the women in her book club, which is why they’ve become her closest friends. But when they give Polly an ancestry test kit as a joke, the results match her with a stranger. It is clear to Polly that this match is a mistake, but still she cannot help but comb through her family history for answers.
Y’all know I love a good family mystery. But there are a lot of things going on in this novel, plus a lot of characters. And with all of that…there are a lot a dead spots too.
I did enjoy Polly. She is struggling with IVF, and this is mentioned WAY TOO MANY TIMES. But, she is doing her best. So, when she meets this young girl she is supposedly related to, it changes her life. Polly discovers a few things and learns quite a bit more than she expected.
This is a novel of friendship and overcoming things that life throws at you. It was just a bit slow and drawn out.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
