Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by a favorite, Anna Quindlen. This is Katie Couric's March Book Club Book. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Polly teaches English at a private, all-girls school, has a core group of friends that talk about everything at their book club (the only rule is that they don't read the book), and an amazing husband. But she's struggling with infertility, her father's dementia, and her relationship with her mother. When her book club friends give her an ancestry test kit as a joke, the results match her with a stranger. Her investigation opens her world even farther.
I love Quindlen's books and they always seem to reach me just when I need them. This book's portrayal of Polly's father's decline surely hit home, and it was so very realistically portrayed. Her friend group were amazing, especially her relationship with Sarah, her oldest friend. I appreciated her husband's family being portrayed as so wonderful, especially her mother-in-law. This book will have you feeling grateful for all your relationships, both family and found family. There were smiles through the tears and I loved this one.
