Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Even Now
Karen Kingsbury · 2008
60/100
👎 Skip It
Kingsbury tackles teen pregnancy and a mother's decades-long search for the daughter she gave up, and it's genuinely gripping in the early chapters. It does lean sentimental, and one reviewer called out some melodramatic turns, so go in expecting a good emotional cry rather than a subtle, restrained read.
