This year, one of the Popsugar reading prompts is "A book about family." I know it can be tough to fill all of the prompts each year, so I'm here to make it just a bit easier on you. Something I love about some of these novels is they discuss how family doesn't necessarily mean blood. Sometimes family is much more than genetics. Some of these stories are heartfelt and full of warmth. Others, not so much. But they all have a centered focus on family.
