This is a feel good, happy to be on this adventure type of book. The story starts out kind of dark, though there is quite a bit of subtle humor throughout. However, it quickly goes into a more lighthearted adventure of the characters finding out who they are and figuring out what next once they find out the answers they were looking for.
The story follows three teens who are searching for their father and along the way, realize that they have more in common than they thought. They bring out the best in each other and by the end of the adventure, realize that families come in many shapes. Theirs may be odd, but it works for them. The kids also run into individuals that mirror each of the kids' personality in some way. This helps the kids deal with their own issues before they even get to meet their dad.
This story could have gone in many directions, but Weil decided to keep it upbeat for such a serious subject. This book brings to light that no matter who you are or who you come from, you can find family in the strangest of places.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an advanced copy to read. All opinions are my own.
