Before We Were Yours

The saddest books always seem to be based on historical facts. This book was well written and it read like a mystery. There were several TW moments that I almost skimmed through. I feel like I'm in the minority, but I preferred reading from Avery's POV than Rill's/May's. Other than Avery's inner dialogue about how she's just not into her fiancé, the search and moments with Trent were good. Rill's/May's POV was hard for me. Adoption is a touchy subject. Many of the reasons people have for wanting children in general weirds me out. Children are not commodities or items to be purchased to boost status. Georgia Tann was a monster, yes, but she wasn't alone in the way she treated children. People are still trafficking children under the guise of adoption and fostering, but I digress... I loved Judy and May's sister days and that they were able to be together at the end. I liked that even though I was sad during a lot of this book, the intrigue and resolution didn't let the sadness cloud my overall feelings.
