Review Detail

Quinn and her brother Olly have always known that their two mothers, Jodi and Sam, conceived them with the help of a donor, and both kids are secure in their identity... most of the time. When the family takes a vacation to a beach hotel, Quinn has to deal with Monika, whom she has met in previous years. When they were younger, Monika asked why Quinn didn't have a father, and misinterpreted "donor" as "doughnut". Monika is mean and snarky, but the two keep getting thrown together in the acitivities at the hotel. Quinn has started to question why she's the only one in her family with red hair, and why she doesn't like the same activities that they do. When her mothers talk about finding the other children of her donor, Quinn is very interested, and doesn't want to wait until she is older. She logs into the account, and even upgrades it with the family debit card so she can message other members. She's already suspicious that one of the staff members might be related to her, but when she finds out that one of the donor siblings (or "diblings", as she puts it) lives nearby, she arranges to meet up with the family. All the while, she is afraid that Monika might be related to her, and spends so much time on her far flung family that she ignores Olly. When he runs off after Quinn doesn't watch him closely enough, she realizes that he means more to her than people she hasn't met. She has to come clean to her mothers about her investigations as well as her feelings of not belonging and not being understood.
