Never Meant to Meet You by Alli Frank
4.0
hopeful inspiring medium-paced

After a disaster with a former neighbor, Marjette (a Kindergarten teacher) hasn't let herself get close enough to meet her new one, Noa. Until she sees Noa day drinking on her porch and decides to go over. Turns out, these two women have a lot in common...complicated family life and having to deal with racism towards them (Noa as a Jewish woman and Marjette as a Black woman).

I love this "found family" that these two women and their children have. They help each other navigate this new friendship. 
There's a very "in your face/do whatever you have to to get what you want) school mom, Rachel. There's Max, Noa's brother, who is delicious to all women 😂. Some great side characters and some I wanted to kick lol

I had a blast reading this.
