My thoughts

2/5stars If you learn to capture a feeling, it’ll always be louder than words. you know how they say the timing of you reading a book plays a major role in how you're gonna take it? I think it was one of those moments for me with this one. I was very much into the premise [DNA testing leads you to a secret sister, you knew nothing about, family reconnection, etc]. It sounded amazing. And I thought I'd be able to enjoy having a good family experience (at least fictionally lol) BUT NO?? I did not like it at all? Most of the time I was left wondering if the family really like this? Instead of having "oh this is so cute, what an amazing family" moments I mostly had "wtf man, can't relate tf is even happening" type of bitter moments. And towards the end, I was just left wondering if something remotely close to this can even happen in real life. I was just mad and angry and couldn't relate to half the uwu family moments lol. Maybe if I would have read it some other time I'd have enjoyed it more (bumped it up to 3 or 3.5 stars) but no, not today. This was well,, an experience I suppose.
