My Best Friend's Girl

I'm so hooked to this book. My Best Friend's Girl by Dorothy Koomson.



It's about how a 32 years old lady taking up the responsibility to adopt her best friend's 5 years old daughter after her best friend's death. The author describes the narrator's grief very well. And it always bring me to tears when Tegan, the little girl makes her learns to open her heart bit by bit.

It's a very touching chick-lit. It tells a lot about a mum's worries on her children, so much till I feel the stress from the heavy responsibility of this superwoman who has to work and take care of Tegan.

Another thing that touched me is the zero race boundaries between the narrator, who is black, and the little girl who is white and the man who loved both the narrator and the little girl very much who is a white too. It makes me fantasizing about the world full of love without racial discrimination and trusts among different races.

This book made my days! =)
