*I was given a copy by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

I loved the premise of sperm donation kids looking for their biological siblings and their biological dad. Family doesn’t have to be who you were raised by, and family doesn’t have to mean DNA. Three great kids begrudgingly go on a road trip to find their bio dad, which is filled with unfortunate events along the way. Their growing familial relationships with each other were so wholesome and heartwarming. This book examines the importance of family and expands the definition of family. The magic of their character growth and the positive spirits of the siblings, especially Jesse, almost makes one believe in fate.

At the 35% mark I just quit. I am not invested in these kids.

Fun young adult book full of music, discovery, and dynamic relationships. Loved taking a road trip with the Savage kids. Thanks #netgalley for the free copy to review. ( )

“now don’t you go falling in love”

When I saw the cover of this book the first things that came to my mind was adventure. I was disappointed that it was not really about the roadtrip itself but it focused on other topics that I was really happy with.

The tone of the book was really warm which fit the familial relationships that were focused on. It was sweet and I really like the author was able to show a bit of the life after they found their dad and the tiems that they spent with him. How different it is and how it certainly brings change because there a lot of peopl eout there who can relate to stories like this. It also exposed the fact that our parents are not the perfect beings that we believed them to be when we were younger but they certainly try their best and they do what they think is best for their chldren.

I think the YA genre needs more books that have topics like this. Especially because these are very real topics that are prevalent in the real world.

Anyhow, even though I liked the overall tone of the book, the pacing of the plot threw me off and it was not effective enough to really bring enough of a reaction out of me. The topic was good but the execution was lacking, for me.

I also got really annoyed of our female MC in some parts. I mean, she FAINTED when she found out that some strong shampoo removed her hair coloring. First of all, I know this is a form of self expression and I am not saying that's its wrong to have colored hair but. . . did she not notice the color running down when she was washing her hair with water?? You can always have it painted over and I do not understand how she would have fainted. This scene just bothered me a lot.


Still, I am absolute trash for good friendship stories. This was a sweet read and though it was not the best in terms of execution, it contains topics that the YA world needs to be reading more. ( )

What a great story. I enjoyed the casual writing style while journeying with the “Super Sperm Club” kids. This book shows that eclectic strangers can come together and connect like they didn’t think they could and at the same time grow to have a better understanding of themselves.

Novel 806 is a life journey for everyone involved. I liked getting to know KT, Gabe and Jesse. Cynthia Weil has create relatable teens who just like any other teenager doesn’t know where they fit in with life. Even as an adult I could relate to the quirky character traits of each kid.

The surprising Bio Dad was a joy to encounter. The journey to find him creative and wacky.
I hope whoever reads this book enjoys it as much as I did. ( )
