Six Degrees of Separation

Six Degrees of Separation is hosted by Kate at booksaremyfavoriteandbest. A book is selected each month as the starting point for us to link to six other books. I go a bit rouge by selecting my own book from the previous months’ Five Star Friday, but still maintain the spirit of the meme.

A woman finds herself asking surprising questions about her family and friends in this wise, wonderful novel of life, loss, and moving on—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of After Annie

High school English teacher Polly Goodman can talk about everything and anything with the women in her book club, which is why they’ve become her closest friends and, along with the support of her veterinarian husband, the bedrock of her life. Her private school students, her fraught relationship with mother, her struggles with IVF—Polly’s book club friends have heard it all.

But when they give Polly an ancestry test kit as a joke, the results match her with a stranger. Despite it seeming clear that this match is a mistake, Polly cannot help combing through her own family history for answers. Then, when it seems that the book club circle of four will become three, Polly learns how friendships can change your life in the most profound ways.

Written with Quindlen’s trademark warmth, humor, and insight into the power of love and hope, More Than Enough explores how we find ourselves again and again through the relationships that define us.

More Than Enough

Polly had so many things to appreciate in her life, but she was dealing with a LOT when her friends gift her a DNA kit that throws another curve ball her way. 

If You Ask Me

Among many of Polly's personal struggles was her battle with infertility. This was something she shared with Violet from If You As Me.

Left of Forever

Due to circumstances, Violet meets and falls in love with a firefighter. Ellis, the love interest in Left of Forever was also a firefighter. 

Emergency Contact

Ellis and Wren were divorced, but Ellis was very motivated to make a reconciliation happen. The couple in Emergency Contact were also divorces but holiday chaos seemed to reveal that they were still in love. 

The Twelve Dates of Christmas

As I already mentioned, Katherine and Tom were traveling home for the holidays. Kate also returned home for the holidays in The Twelve Dates of Christmas. 

Twelve Dates of Christmas

The connection between this book and The Twelve Dates of Christmas really is obvious - they practically have the same title and both involve twelve dates at Christmas Time. 

Romantic Hero

The heroine in this book is a writer experiencing writers block, and the heroine in Twelve Dates of Christmas is also an author.
