Jill MacSweeney just wishes everything could go back to normal. But ever since her dad died, she’s been isolating herself from her boyfriend, her best friends—everyone who wants to support her. And when her mom decides to adopt a baby, it feels like she’s somehow trying to replace a lost family member with a new one. Mandy Kalinowski understands what it’s like to grow up unwanted—to be raised by a mother who never intended to have a child. So when Mandy becomes pregnant, one thing she’s sure of is that she wants a better life for her baby. It’s harder to be sure of herself. Will she ever find someone to care for her, too? As their worlds change around them, Jill and Mandy must learn to both let go and hold on, and that nothing is as easy—or as difficult—as it seems.

Quick read, not a lot of plot. There is a bit of character development with the Jill character as she deals with her grief, but with Mandy there's really minimal going on and she was boring to me. Maybe it was that I couldn't identify with her, but her chapters were annoying for me and I thought she was stupid. When I realized that I thought she was stupid I was actually surprised, given that I rarely find characters boring and stupid, especially when reading in first person.
Anyway~ quick read and not memorable for me.
