This is a cute, adventure, young adult book. It really makes you think about the children of sperm donors and how they feel about themselves.
KT, you feel for almost immediately when you hear about her mom and the life she has grown up in. You can see how she became a realist/a bit pessimistic at such a young age. Her feeling of being half whole is completely understandable.
Jesse seems to have the perfect life. He is the handsome jock and star of the swim team however, you soon realize that there is a lot more to the kid and being in that position is harder than you think. People don't expect much of jocks and with his lesbian moms, he has held on to quite a bit of doubt about who he is and just wants to find out what he wants in life besides swimming and being the golden boy.
Gabe is the nerdy magician with allergies. He is that gross kid in school that you feel sorry for. He seems to have the perfect, loving parents. They are understanding and supportive and love him with everything they have. So you don't really understand why he goes on this adventure at first even though he sort of says.
Throughout the book, you start understanding where all of these kids are coming from and why they are on this adventure to find their sperm donor dad. Each feels that they are missing a part of them and that missing piece is going to make them happier and whole. The whole adventure is a series of learning for these kids. They need each other for who they each are and did not have a clue about it even though they were all disappointed when they first met up.
Overall, this book is a great book and taught me some really great lessons about looking at the bright side of life. Because "You never know what amazing things can happen".
