‘Nowhere,’ I reply. ‘I’m from nowhere.’
‘Everyone’s from somewhere,’ he says.

As the tangled truths about her adoption and childhood start to unravel, a series of shocking events cause Clem to reassess whether the price of having contact with her birth family could be too high to pay....

Thoroughly enjoyable
A bit slow to start, but can't stop listening once you're into it. Lots of twists and turns, so it keeps one captivated

A wonderful story
The narrator of this story made the emotions come to life. She was very believable. I highly recommend this book.

Loved it but...
the narrator's petulant tone really grated on me. I kept thinking: did the author mean the main character to be so sulky, defensive and difficult (and hard to warm to), or is it the narration? Other than that, a great story
