Publisher's Summary:
While struggling with infertility, Candy and Frankie, a mixed-race couple living in Chicago, decide to adopt a black child. Despite objections from their wildly different families, who beg the couple to go the more "traditional route", Candy and Frankie schedule an appointment with the Department of Child Family Services in the hopes of finding not an infant, but a toddler - a child "no one else wants".
Beautifully rendered in a voice unlike any other in contemporary fiction, Pick Me grapples with notions of race, privilege, and ambition in the modern age - and the strain those forces can put on a relationship.
Members Reviews:
Ok
Did not like the story. Probably very true to life and best decision was made. Easy to read. Will try another book by author.
I'm confused
I like the idea of the story, but it was hard to follow. The story just ended and I was lost.
Just okay
It was an okay read. A little too descriptive and all over the place for me. It doesn't display anything more than the usual distain for interracial relationships.
Not for me
I wanted to like this but the writing style was such that I found myself rereading sentences, never quite finding the rhythm of the narrative.
One Star
Very poorly written.
