Thank you Jocelyn @ Kelly and Hall. I really enjoyed this book. I read it in a week or so. I looked forward to reading it each night. It is about Chloe who works for an adoption agency placing newborns with adoptive parents. It is an interesting book with a bit of drama when a child ends up missing. It gives a glimpse into the lives of the adoptive parents, the birth parent(s), and the life of Chloe in the middle of it all. It read a little bit like a Jodi Piccoult novel, and I say that loosely because I don't think the writing was the same. But the writing was enjoyable and flowed well. I would recommend the book and the author. I found the characters real to life and I enjoyed the Portland, Oregon setting. I enjoyed the drama without tears. I also was happy the book was a quick read and wasn't cluttered up with a bunch of writing for the sake of writing. If you know what I mean.
Hope you have a chance to check this one out.

I do know what you mean about writing just for the sake of writing. I don't enjoy that style either, so I have a feeling I'd enjoy this book.
Thanks for the great review and recommendation. I have been considering this one.
I am smiling at "Colour me happy I read a book" :-)
I've been Jonesing for some Picoult lately and I'll have to give this one a try. Thanks for the review!
This sounds like a really sweet book!
As a writer, I think your "Color Me Happy..." should be a t-shirt!
I have this on my wish list but after reading your review I will make sure I read it.
This sounds like a wonderful book. I have always been interested in the adoption process and think it's wonderful when a child finds a home in this way. Your review is great. I'm listing this book at the top of my TBR list and will be purchasing a copy soon (I hope!)

I need to write a book review on the discussed book. Need to submit my term paper by the end of the week but now able to find book reviews written by other readers.
Just to update on the issue, I have searched the amazon but fond low quality reviews.
