How the Queen Found the Perfect Cup of Tea.

© 2017 Becky Laney of Becky's Book Reviews There are certainly romantic elements to this one, but by far it is about family. In fact, one of my favorite characters was a side character, Rafe. Not just with the three main characters, but with all the characters. The characterization is so good and characterization is for me the MOST important thing in a book. It uses the f-word quite a bit this usually keeps me from 'liking' a book let alone loving it. This novel has the potential to either be awesome or a HUGE mess. Three main characters, three sets of parents, three sets of friends. Each teen is experiencing some drama and hardship. Far From The Tree is narrated by all three teens. Would she like to get to know them? They all live close by. It is as she's on this emotional roller coaster that her parents bring up the fact that she has two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. It was the hardest thing she's ever done. And she carefully picked out the adoptive parents. The novel opens with Grace, one of the heroines, giving birth to 'Peach.' She decided to give her baby up for adoption early on in the pregnancy. It won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature this year. Premise/plot: Far from the Tree is YA fiction at its best. įirst sentence: Grace hadn't really thought too much about homecoming.
