Far from the Tree

*4.5
This book was so beautiful I made me cry, laugh, and make me be more thankful for my brother and sister. This book is easily one of my new favorites and I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes one of my top favorites of the year.

Writing: I personally read this book by a combination of audiobook and ebook. From the parts that I physically read I really liked Robin Benway's writing. I felt like I was there with Grace, Maya, and Joaquin.

Plot: This book was different for me because I've never read a book that centers around adoption. Personally I thought that this book executed it very well. Although I cannot really give my opinion about if its represented well or not because I don't know much about adoption. I do recommend to look for a review from someone that has been through it, because its very important.

Characters: I loved the characters soooo much they deserve the world. I cried a lot in Grace's PoV because sometimes I just wanted to jump into the book and give her a hug. Maya was annoying at times but I loved her sense of humor and the fact that she was queer. I liked how accepting her parents were when she came out. And Finally my baby Joaquin, THIS BOY DESERVES ETERNAL HAPPINESS!!!!. Also buddy was half latinx so you already know!!. An honorable mention is Rafe he was so pure and really cares about Grace, he was there when she needed someone.

Enjoyment: If you haven't noticed yet, I reeeaaaallllyyy enjoyed this book. Please read it!
