More Than Enough

By Anna Quinlen

AN INTRIGUING STORY OF FAMILY AND FRIENDSHIPS

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

SUMMARY

Book clubs are great! High school English teacher Polly Goodman talks about everything with her book club, except the book. They’re her closest friends and, with her veterinarian husband, her support system. Her students, her relationship with her mother, and her IVF struggles have all been shared with her book club.

When the book club gives Polly an ancestry test as a joke, the results surprisingly match her with a stranger, a sixteen-year-old girl.  Polly seriously doubts that the results are accurate.  Despite that, she can’t ignore it, as she explores her family history. When the friendship circle shrinks, Polly learns how her friendships have profoundly transformed her life.

I am out with lanterns looking for myself.

-Emily Dickinson

REVIEW

MORE THAN ENOUGH is an intriguing story of family, friendship and loss. Polly was a completely relatable character. Her book club friends, her relationship with her mother, and her fertility struggles are all profound women’s issues. The story is engaging, and Anna Quinlen’s fans will enjoy it.

Quinlen’s writing smartly captures Polly’s feelings and frustrations about her life.  Polly’s character is fairly well-developed, and I especially enjoyed her interactions with her husband, brother, and even her mother.

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for the advance copy of this book. All opinions expressed here are my own.
