À propos de cet audio
Lydia, Dean, and Robyn don't know one another...yet. Each is facing difficult challenges: Lydia is still wearing the scars from her traumatic childhood. Wealthy and successful, she leads a lonely and disjointed existence. Dean is a young, unemployed, single dad whose life is going nowhere. Robyn is 18. Gorgeous, popular, and intelligent, she entered her first year of college confident about her dream to become a pediatrician. Now she's failing her classes. Now she's falling in love for the first time.
Lydia, Dean, and Robyn live very different lives, but each of them, independently, has always felt that something was missing. What they don't know is that a letter is about to arrive that will turn their lives upside down. It's a letter containing a secret - one that will bind them together and show them what love and family and friendship really mean.
A literary gem, The Making of Us will remind listeners of the miracles that happen when we bring life into the world and share our lives with those we love.

A very in-depth, engrossing novel
The topic is fascinating and the characters developed well as the story went on. The loose ends were tied up well. Lisa Jewell writes very well. One criticism might be that the story is very drawn out and some day to day detail could be eliminated. This is the second novel I have read by this author and I will read more. Definitely recommend this book.

Great story but too many characters
I enjoyed the story very much but felt there were too many characters in it so that I forgot the stories of each individual character as the story progressed. But the story was great and enjoyable, despite that.

Excellent Title
It took me awhile to get into this book since I couldn’t figure out how these characters could fit together and I wasn’t sure about the different voices. By a quarter of the way through I couldn’t put it down and loved it. I’m glad I stuck with it and am looking forward to reading yet another story by Lisa Jewel.

Another home run.
I always enjoy books by Lisa Jewell. This one was not as dark as some I've read by her, but there were a lot of surprises. It was awesome to visit all the different types of family in this book. I liked the diverse backgrounds of each character and how they eventually find a shared path.
