Katherine Lambert's mom Kim cannot hold on to any man, but the realization of that fact was enough to send KT on a quest to find her bio dad. Registering on a donor site to be contacted by any siblings or her biological dad, KT meets up with her nerdy half brother Gabe and her swim team cool half brother Jesse. Just when she thinks all is for naught, Donor 806 contacts the three of them and requests a meeting. From the minute the door opens, they all know a mistake was made. Will KT, Gabe, and Jesse ever find where they belong? Will they come to certain realizations about themselves and each other during their road trip?
806 is the coming of age story of three teenagers, trying to figure out where they belong. Lighthearted and humorous at times, the plot moves along at a fast pace. Although the book is written in KT's perspective, as a letter to the donor site, both Gabe's and Jesse's perspectives are given equal weight. The plot is totally unrealistic at times, but it was completely entertaining. The ending was a bit of a cop-out, though it did fit in with the feel good vibe of the rest of the book. 806 was a good read and I would recommend it to others who like YA realistic fiction.
