So I was scrolling through my feed and saw that a movie based on this book was coming out. I downloaded the audio but had no clue this book is the 30th in this series! I know I probably missed a lot since I don't know the rest of the characters well.
The second thing, I didn't know was that it was a Christian book.
Anyway, back to the story.
Maddie West is excited to start her new job at the zoo after graduating college. She also is about to get married. Her fiancee seems to be a really sweet guy.
Then, Dawson Gage finds Maddie at the zoo and tells her that she is adopted and that London, her biological sister, and her parents live in Portland.
At first, Maddie believes he is a liar but after one conversation with her parents, she realizes he was telling her the truth.
Maddie decides to leave it all and go to Portland to find out more about her sister and her biological parents.
I ended up liking the book but did have some issues with Maddie's decisions.
First, leaving her job, her parents, and her fiancee abruptly without a good conversation felt wrong to me. Second, I'm not sure what new job will let you leave it for an unknown period of time just after your first day and they will hold it for you. Third, the way she refused to talk to her adoptive family despite all that they had done for her felt very childish. Lastly, the big decision she made in Portland that will affect her for the rest of her life felt very rushed. I'm not saying it was not the right one, but she didn't discuss it with the people who cared about her. She just informed them about her decision.
