I liked this book. It was not a real great love story more like a slow burn. Two kindred souls meet, one who was given up for adoption and never adopted and another who finds late in life that she was. You get both sides of that life and how it shaped each person. You find that not all birth parents want to relive that part of their lives and everything is not always a made for TV movie with a sweet happy ending. This was one of the more real life like stories that Ive read this year. The couples are more true to life and less fantasy. Their relationships while not always hot and heavy were more realistic then most romance novels. I say this not to mean that the couples did not express themselves physically but to say that this story is more along the lines of how real relationships and romances actually take place and the problems and solutions that couples work out really come out. I believe most people can relate to this story and this couple then most romance novels.
