I was enjoying this book until the "twist". Before this moment the story was heartfelt and was involving social justice topics. I felt for Happi and her storyline was emotional and strong. She was facing losing a sister and finding out there were secrets kept from her. She also honored Kenzi with a trip to try to see things the way her sister did. This story was four stars.

Negative stars goes to the twist storyline. I hate multiple coincidences in realistic stories. All of the coincidences come after the twist and there are some doozies here. The whole storyline takes any believability from the whole book. It should have been two books, not one.
