4 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
A whip-smart, entertaining novel about twin siblings who become a national phenomenon after launching a podcast to find the biological father they never knew. The death of Thomas and Savannah McClairs mother turns their world upside down. Raised to be fiercely curious by their grandmother Maggie, the twins become determined to learn the identity of their biological father. And when their mission goes viral, an eccentric producer offers them a dream platform: a fully sponsored podcast called The Kids Are Gonna Ask. To discover the truth, Thomas and Savannah begin interviewing people from their mothers past and are shocked when the podcast ignites in popularity. As the attention mounts, they get caught in a national debate they never asked forbut nothing compares to the mayhem that ensues when they find him. Cleverly constructed, emotionally perceptive and sharply funny, The Kids Are Gonna Ask is a rollicking coming-of-age story and a moving exploration of all the ways we can go from lost to found.

I‘ve been reading this book for a LONG time. I just didn‘t have a lot of reading time lately. This book was so good! That one twist with Sam at the end really did it for me. Without it , I feel like the ending would have been plain and boring. I didn‘t fully understand every character‘s actions and choices, but even so, 5🌟

In today‘s NYT is an article about four teenagers who started a podcast to talk about their uniquely teen experiences. This book has parallels - twin teens create a podcast to search for their biological dad. Much like “Teenager Therapy,” Anthony‘s novel revolves around conversations about mental health, school, &friendships (with an incredibly personal genealogical search at the center of it all) from a very midwestern, down to earth sensibility.
