I picked up This is How it Always Is by Laurie Frankel on a recommendation from Modern Mrs. Darcy, Anne Bogel’s blog or podcast (I can’t remember which). If you have not checked out her work, you should. She’s a reader’s dream! This is How it Always Is is a story about Claude, the fifth boy in his family (who always wanted a girl), who wants to be a girl. The family keeps this information secret until they can’t anymore. It’s a heartwarming story with lovable characters and delightful writing. I couldn’t put it down and loved every minute of it. I highly recommend it.
