McKinney's book brings the thoughtfulness, insight, and humor of the Normal Gossip podcast and her journalism to a new format in a nonfiction book. She's able to provide both a historic perspective and contemporary examples through a lens that's maybe not unique but feels personable and identifiable. I think if you have enjoyed the podcast, her writing on Defector dot com, microhistories, and/or social commentary, this would be a solid read. ** I got a free advanced reader's copy of this title via NetGalley, which was awesome. Made me feel like I had gossip to have a chance for an early read! **

I'd probably rank this more of a 3.5 if I could do half-stars. An interesting approach to getting into new authors - I'd think a lot of libraries might find this useful for their patrons. Merged review: I'd probably rank this more of a 3.5 if I could do half-stars. An interesting approach to getting into new authors - I'd think a lot of libraries might find this useful for their patrons.

Pretty mediocre. The narrator wasn't particularly interesting or sympathetic, and the real-life examples were spread too thin (and metaphors were too stretched). If you're interested in the topic, I would recommend Spousonomics: Using Economics to Master Love, Marriage, and Dirty Dishes instead. Merged review: Pretty mediocre.

Really a knockout. Compassionate, thorough, accessible, enlightening. I am not directly impacted by adoption or family separation, but have family and friends who have been and are, and I felt like I could see their experiences reflected here in a way that connects them to broader themes.
