A neat web of characters her other books and some neat new friendships overall I enjoyed it ( ) See my full review here: https://www.howdidthatbookend.com/the-making-of-us-lisa-jewell/ This was another book where I was pretty sure I’d read it before, but couldn’t remember at all what happened. Plus it was immediately available on Overdrive, so here we are! I am a huge fan of Lisa Jewell’s more recent thrillers, but I’ll read anything she has written. The Making of Us is one of her older family dramas, which she also does very well. She is a master of painting complex, compelling characters that draw you into their stories and make the reader eager to find out more about them. Lisa Jewell is becoming one of my favorites. This is the third book of hers that I absolutely loved. The Making of Us is about Lydia, Dean, and Robyn, three young people who have never met each other and always believed that they were only children. Their lives are forever changed when they learn that not only are they are the products of a sperm donor, but they have living brothers and sisters, and that their father wants to meet all of them. Jewell builds the action slowly until you become completely absorbed in the characters and their lives. Her previous novels that I enjoyed were very dark, but this one is lighter and hopeful. It is ultimately a heart-warming story about the need for belonging and the meaning of family. Highly recommend. Lydia, Dean, and Robyn are all young singles whose lives come together when they learn that they all share the same father and visit him on his deathbed. There was actually a fourth sibling but he passed away early on. The three surviving siblings were conceived by different mothers who all went to a sperm bank and used the same donor sperm. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Fiction.
Literature.
Lydia, Dean, and Robyn don't know one another...yet. Each is facing difficult challenges: Lydia is still wearing the scars from her traumatic childhood. Wealthy and successful, she leads a lonely and disjointed existence. Dean is a young, unemployed single dad whose life is going nowhere. Robyn is eighteen. Gorgeous, popular, and intelligent, she entered her first year of college confident about her dream to become a pediatrician. Now she's failing her classes. Now she's falling in love for the first time. Lydia, Dean, and Robyn live very different lives, but each of them, independently, has always felt that something was missing. What they don't know is that a letter is about to arrive that will turn their lives upside down. It's a letter containing a secret-one that will bind them together and show them what love and family and friendship really mean. A literary gem, The Making of Us will remind listeners of the miracles that happen when we bring life into the world and share our lives with those we love.
