If Kareem had not found the photo of Sarah, there never would have been that explosion at the gas station and Alexandros wouldn't have fled, but life is full of "if-onlys," especially for seventeen-year-old Sarah Petit.It is 1974 and Sarah finds herself alone in East End. She has become involved with Andreas, a troubled young man with a drug problem; and with Kareem, a lovesick newspaper boy; and with Alexandros, a new immigrant to the U.S. who barely speaks English but clearly knows what he wants. All four have grown up in drastically different worlds, but they have somehow been thrown together, and with one misguided decision after another, they set in motion a series of unstoppable events that lead to violence and heartbreak. Maybe life would be easier if people would just stick with their own kind. But what does that really mean?This is a story of yearning and desire, of the basic need to connect with others and the expectations of culture and tradition that sometimes keep us from real love, a love that is truly with someone of our "own kind."

So they decide to send her to East End for the summer, where her Uncle can supervise her and she can get a job and learn some independence. They close their eyes to her vulnerability in a place full of possibilities.Sarah becomes friends with a Kareem a young Turkish boy who forms a crush on her. She gets a job in a restaurant, but it doesn't work out and instead she becomes a maid at the local Greek run hotel. Andreas has a roving eye for young girls and she soon finds herself in an awkward position. She also builds a friendship with Alexandros, who works in the restaurant, but speaks very little English.The storyline is about relationships and looks at different Nationalities and their expectations. The opening chapters set a scene and through the use of back stories we find out how each character came to where they are at the beginning. Then in the closing chapters, we find out where the characters moved forward from the original opening scenes. I struggled with the volume of back stories, chopping back and forth, I found it a complicated style and as a reader I was left trying to grasp the main story threads, always feeling they were just out of reach. However this is just how I read the story, I can see that for other readers the back stories will be the main focus.This review is based on a free copy of the book given to me by the author.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Relationships. By Michelle James I fell in love with the story of Your Own Kind immediately. It is one of relationships between parents, parents and their children, neighbors, people of different nationalities. It is about finding love where we least expect it. Your Own Kind explores the ins and outs of relationships where all is not as it seems.There is a lot of backstory to explain how the characters got to where they were. For the most part this was helpful, but at times, it was perplexing. There was also a lot of jumping around from one period in the characters’ lives to another (past and present). This too, was a cause for some confusion. There were a number of supporting characters, and I feel it would have helped move the story along if the author had narrowed down the characters to those with the most significant roles.With all of this in mind, my original statement stands. I absolutely enjoyed the story. Even though I felt there were issues with the structure, I would recommend Your Own Kind to anyone who enjoys fiction with well-defined characters, and a strong believable story.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

The relationships that form are enjoyed and lived vicariously by the reader.The small community of Long island as well as the small Greek mountain village become an integral part of the story due to the authors ability to describe them in a vivid and detailed way. This story is transportive and lovely. I highly recommend it!
