A kid walks into your bookstore and… Guess what? He’s your son. The one you put up for adoption eighteen years ago. The one you never told anyone about. Surprise! And a huge surprise it is. It’s a huge surprise to his adoptive mother, Monica, who thought she had a ... more >

REVIEW: Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins

DabneyC Reviews / C+ ReviewsContemporary / unrequited-love18 Comments
