Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for this ARC. All opinions are my own. 

The Search for Us by Susan Azim Boyer is a story about family, forgiveness, and stepping out of your comfort zone. 

I’m not sure why, but I’ve always loved hearing stories about people looking for their birth parents and vice versa. One of my favorite shows is TLC’s Long Lost Family where family members try to find other biological family members. When I read the synopsis for this book, I knew it would be something that I would enjoy. 

It’s such a beautiful and heartbreaking (at times) story about searching for family (and finding it in unexpected places). I loved the resilience of the characters, and how much they grew through this experience. 

The most frustrating part of this story was how the adults acted towards their children. They failed them in so many ways, which made it hard to read at times. I overall would still recommend this book. 

If you like stories about family such as Far from the Tree by Robin Benway, then I definitely think you should give this book a chance.
