The Same Sky by Amanda Eyre Ward *ARC*

★★★★

I received this ebook from NetGalley as an ARC in exchange for my honest feedback. 

As I frequently receive emails from NetGalley about new ARCs added to the library for requests, sometimes there are ones that catch my attention. What immediately grabbed my interest with "The Same Sky" was that Jodi Picoult was raving about this author and this novel. I'm a self proclaimed Jodi Picoult fan and have pretty much enjoyed all books she has written as well as books she recommended. So I dove into the request pool head first and hoped I would be picked. 

The story of The Same Sky tells from two different perspectives: a married woman living in Texas, desperate to conceive or mother a child and a young abandoned girl, living in Honduras, desperately trying to survive. While you are reading this novel, told in alternating points of view, you have no idea how their worlds are going to collide until literally the last two chapters. I won't lie, at times this drove me CRAZY. 

The characters were round and developed, really intriguing, but I felt like there were parts of the story inserted that were unnecessary-- the mentoring of a high school girl that is poor and out of control, the husband's story line. But I also like my stories ended in neat little packages with pretty bows and I felt like, while the story did have an ending, it also left many questions.
