I really enjoy Mike's Gayle books as the characters are protrayed as ordinary people and they all have their own story with friendships and family usually at their centre. This book was almost the epitome of it helped to show the importance of reflecting on everyone's own piece of history and treasures. Jess' grief was incredibly moving and was protrayed in such an emotional way especially when she was clearing away the house. Alex's story was emotional too as we uncover the truth about the scares and the emotional impact they've had on his whole life. Luce and Jess' friendship was special even with the added challenge of discovering they are actually half sisters. This was a really enjoyable book and such a heart warming read.
