4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read

In this heart-wrenching story of an open adoption gone wrong, Caroline Leavitt's Girls in Trouble reveals the astonishing power of family bonds and maternal love. Sara is sixteen and pregnant. Her once-devoted boyfriend seems to have disappeared, so she decides her best and only option is an open adoption with George and Eva, a couple desperate for a child. After the birth it's clear Sara has a bond with the child that Eva can't seem to duplicate. When it seems that Sara cannot let go, Eva and George make a drastic decision, with devastating consequences for all of them.

This book is about adoption, specifically open adoption, and the pitfalls and potential joys. The author was not afraid to delve into sensitive, thought provoking, areas of teenage pregnancy, adoption and parent/child relationships. Each character makes their mistakes and all suffer consequences because of them. I was glued to the page, anxious to see how it would all play out. Definitely recommend.

This one has been on my shelf forever! What better time to dive into that TBR than a #deweysreadathon pre-readathon #challenge? 1000 pages by October 2. I am 476 pages in and have 3 days to go - finishing this book will get me to 832. Ready, set, go!
