This Is How It Always Is - Laurie Frankel
About The Book
Somehow, and I cannot tell you how, I didn't know this was a novel when I read it. I assumed it was a real Story and I have to admit, I was unhealthily obsessed with this family. I kept reading passages of it to Brad and read the entire thing in one sitting one rainy afternoon. I just couldn't put it down.
I don't want to tell you the nitty gritty of this story, however basically it is the story of a family with a transgender child. It is their story of how this affects the family and what lengths they will go to for this child to live the best possible life. It is a testament to how we could be, how we could solve challenges and how we sometimes can't. It is refreshing, heartbreaking, funny but most of all it just reeks of LOVE.
Love is Love. Read it yourself. I can't recommend it enough. What incredible characters that carry off an incredible story. If I could have given it 6 stars I would have.

where I explain how I didn't know it was a novel. I know, I can hear you thinking "what a tool" and that may be true, but there was something very refreshing about reading this as a non-friction Book.
5 Stars. I loved the story and even when I found out it was a novel, I'm still in love with Rosie, Penn, Poppy and their story.
