Fifteen-year-old Milo and his half-sister, fourteen-year-old Hollis, set out to find their sperm-donor father. Along the way they meet more half-siblings, who help them better understand the meaning of family. Chapters narrated by a close third-person voice alternate between Hollis's and Milo's perspectives, depicting fully realized, dynamic characters. Believable dialogue and natural pacing bolster this nontraditional family drama.
