Welcome to Litsy!

Cathy had wanted adopt from India for the best of reasons, of course: so they could have a child that looked like Remy. But, he thought, would we have looked here if we could have found a white baby in America? He and Cathy had always prided themselves on their politics and supported progressive causes, so why have they not considered a Black adoption? Remi knew the answer: there was a caste system in America and he had successfully scaled it./1

This started so confusing and after the first 5 chapters I gave up… not used to doing this so idk what to do … sucks

February 2025 Book #3

A contemporary chick lit where Felicia, an unsecured, immature character constantly take bad decisions that jeopardized her marriage, her emotional and physical security…and you, as a reader, will feel frustrated and mad during all this drama. Male figures here are terrible, abusive. Sexual abuse was minimized by family. Maybe the ending was a small step for Felicia start to grow up. Maybe this was the part that I liked⬇️

#abtadoption #bibliophile this one covers both sides of adoption through one unique character.

I love books with a strong sense of place, and this one did not disappoint. The author did a wonderful job of depicting life on a remote island, complete with island traditions, food, and a cast of quirky characters. This setting, along with the growth in confidence of the main character, a bit of romance, and the revelation of some long-buried secrets made for a very enjoyable read.

I did skim parts of the first of the book, so I did miss a few things. I liked one thing that happened, when so many novels would go the other way. I think I liked it because the author made sure that the reader understood, whereas so many other books wouldn‘t go into it. I also liked the ecological slant to the story (though that wasn‘t explored in a lot of detail, but it still appealed to me).

I‘m really looking forward to traveling to the glorious fictional island of Tuga for #FictionalTraveler this month! What will everyone else be reading for the #Island prompt?
