I am both an adoptee and a birth mom. This book was impossible to put down - luckily an easy read… except for a triggering chapter about an assault - something I’ve also experienced including the stalking and menacing behavior of a psychopathic ex boyfriend.
Liv reminds me so much of me as a teenager. I didn’t find my birth mom until I was 50 and my outcome was different from hers;
But I know a majority of the reunions I have helped facilitate - birth moms don’t make space for the adoptee in their lives. It’s not as much rejecting the adoptee but having to move through the pain that created the situation in the first place. . . Which hasn’t yet been explored in this story.
The storytelling is absolutely amazing! I wish all authors were as this skilled in storytelling as Meggan is.
The feelings of Liv as an adoptee - so real, and so relatable for most adoptees. What a journey! Can’t wait to read the rest of it!

From the Publisher
adopted: a story of belonging, book 1
Adopted is Meggan Larson's debut novel and the first book in a trilogy loosely based on her life as an adoptee. Indie Reader called it "impossible to put down" and Meggan has received many frustrated messages on social media blaming her for their lack of sleep because they had to read it in one sitting.
If you're looking for a coming of age story with some romance and a little suspense, you've come to the right place.
