As an adoptive parent, I felt incredibly seen by this book. As Frankel herself points out, it‘s vanishingly rare to see adoption portrayed in the media as a source of a (complicated, human) joy.

I really enjoy Tessa Dare‘s books but this one was lacking some of her signature humor and lightness. However, I always appreciate her attention to writing every character as a full person.

Beautiful, thoughtful, and deeply kind, The Morningside is about coming-of-age is a changed and changing world.

Slow to start but ultimately fulfilling, The Mythmakers explores the themes of how we know others and how we see ourselves.
