Such a wonderfully smart and touching story!

A mother whose child was conceived via sperm donation chose to go that route due to her own fathers inconsistency in her own life. Her son begins having questions about his father and why his mom chose that route and made him essentially fatherless and an easy prey to teasing and bullying at school finally meets a friend with whom his bond is remarkable and as if they’d known one another since birth. She becomes best friends with the kids mom and close with his father whom her son adores which is atypical since he seems to be indifferent or oppositional to all other men in his life, particularly her bf that they’ve both known for years through family. As the story goes on we learn why the bond to the new best friend of her sons and his dad is so strong and the aftermath that comes with that knowledge
