Summary from Simon and Schuster
How can you face your future when your past it a lie?
When Rosie
Kenning's mother, Trudie, dies from Huntingdon's disease, her whole
world falls apart. Not only does Rosie desperately miss her mum, but now
she has to face the fact that she could have inherited the fatal
illness herself. Until she discovers that Trudie wasn't her biological
mother at all ... Rosie is stunned. Can this be true? Is she grieving
for a mother who wasn't even hers to lose? And if Trudie wasn't her
mother, who is?
But as Rosie delves into her past to discover who she
really is, she is faced with a heart-breaking dilemma - to continue
living a lie, or to reveal a truth that will shatter the lives of
everyone around her...
Nayuleska's thoughts
I loved
learning more about the main characters through their point of view,
especially near the end where some of the plot revelatioms made my head
spin. Rosie makes lots of mistakes for the right reasons, which made me
forgive her when she stuffs up. I'd love to have a sequel to find out how
the changes will affect Rosie & Holly. The end is a big awwww
moment. This gets 9/10 from me.
