WTF In All The Best Ways. The marketing for this book is all “premonitions and DNA tests”, and honestly, while that certainly applies to the tale – premonitions play a central role in the two primary lives involved and there is indeed a DNA test that allows them to find each other – that aspect to the book is not so major as to warrant being the primary marketing focus, to my mind. Instead, this is a funny in an off beat kind of way (think: escaping goats and aunts who start a pot business to fund an Antarctic expedition) tale of a woman who has a full life yet is searching to find that one missing piece. The Beauty and the Beast allusions of the cover illustration are spot on, but again, a minor if recurring point. Overall a very strong book, but one that is quite a bit more humorous than the marketing and even cover may imply. Very much recommended.
