KT never knew her dad. She’s not very close to her mom. She’s a very angsty teenager and after her mom gets on her nerves once again, she somehow talks her mom into telling her more about her father. KT has always thought that her father abandoned her mom when she was pregnant.
When KT’s mom hands her a slip with a man’s name on it, KT meets the man and learns the actual truth. KT’s father is actually an anonymous sperm donor. KT’s dad didn’t leave. This changes the picture KT has of her father, she’s always seen him as someone who left the family. And she’s got some major issues with her mom and with friends as a result of feeling abandoned.
So, she’s not super pleased to realize this was all a lie.
Full disclosure, KT majorly got on my nerves at the beginning of this book. She was really rude to her mom and not very nice to her friends/classmates/bandmates. She was bordering on rude to pretty much everyone.
If you’re reading this, and this is bugging you, stick with it. No spoilers here but KT’s overall vibe majorly improves throughout the course of the book.
Back to the storyline, KT connects with her two biological half brothers and they set off to find the donor.
The brothers are great characters. Artistic KT connects with geeky Gabe and athletic Jesse. They know each other online in passing from school.
The three set off on a really epic road trip where they all redefine what family means to them.
I enjoyed it. It was a light, quick read with entertaining stories and characters.
I read an early excerpt of this book on BookishFirst and finished reading it through an early edition e book from NetGalley. Thanks to both sites for introducing me to a book I might have overlooked otherwise.
