I was not a big fan of this, to be honest. It just felt very one-dimensional and uninteresting to me. But the cover is very pretty and I liked the ending!

I really enjoyed this book. ;it was warm and funny. The family members were a welcome addition. Very funny moments in this book. Nice read.Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book. Although I received the book in this manner, it did not affect my opinion of this book nor my review.

This was a fun book to read, it is a novel but is also a fictionalized account of the authors true humorous stories from her own life, so part memoir I guess.
Dizzy is a surviving twin, who was fostered out and then adopted, as her mother was not able to take care for her.
As the title states this is a story of her life through four decades. She and her husband Will, live in the country, near her adoptive parents. They have a bit of a hectic life but love their home, and the dogs that they have rescued and then along comes their daughter, and the search for her birth parents starts to happen with the well wishes of her adoptive parents. Her Mom and Will are her biggest supporters as she is going through this search.
The journey of balancing her life from her own family, to the new ones that she discovers, is quite humorous, and hectic at times. She finds out she has a large and boisterous group of relations. Not knowing how to navigate the different personalities, she over time settles into to this loving family and finds out not only about them, but about herself as well.
I really enjoyed this book, and I would like to thank NetGalley and Troubador Publishing limited-Matador for the ARC of this book

Dizzy Greenfield is adopted and feels like she needs to know where her beginnings were and why her parents gave her up. She was fortunate to have great adoptive parents and loves them but just needs to put the past at rest. The journey takes time and has some unexpected turns but she manages to do it with humor as well as tears and some deep emotions in making her world work for her. She is fortunate to have Will who shows so much love and patience with her journey. There are many surprises and many relatives she never knew about until she meets her parents. In many ways she knows more about herself with having allowed herself to follow her curiosity. Sometimes it was scary but she always had Will and her Mum to back her up. Well worth the read.

Dizzy did an amazing job of conveying the pros and cons of searching for one's birth parents in this memoir. Via Dizzy's honest writing, I was able to go along on her journey and could feel the emotions she was struggling with as she made decisions. Very well-written!
