India wants nothing other than to be an actress, but when she finds herself pregnant at 16, she has to face a monumental decision and what it means for her dreams. This book follows India as she wrestles with difficult choices and how they affect not only herself but also the people around her.
I really enjoyed this book. It was so touching and dealt with difficult subjects in a delicate and hopeful way. The characters were a little too perfect, and their lives, not realistically messy, but overall, so endearing. I absolutely adored the attachment of the characters to one another because family can be about blood and who you grow up with, but it is also about who you choose to call family. Really lovely.
