i thought it was quite a sad story of the deep confusion Lauren was experiencing as she was so desperatley sad but happy like shes never been before made the story so confusing but it was a very good read and made me think about girls who really were going through her experience .

This was a bit of an older read and very good reading. She was kidnapped when she was two, was sold to someone who really wanted a child. She found out and travelled to America to find her real parents… finds them! Has a little sister called Madison. Another sister who doesn’t like her. It was a great thrilling read, highly recommend

I absolutely loved this book. I read the whole thing in a couple of hours. It was an interesting and exciting book with a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter. It follows Lauren and her best friend Jam trying to discover the truth about her past. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys thrillers and people who have read any other books by Sophie McKenzie.

This book shows that the past is there and can still haunt you but you can rewrite your future to what you want it to be. You history is there and someone else’s fault but your future is what make it and shape it to be.

This book is about a girl called Lauren that goes to find out how her real parents are with her best friend Jam. On the the way they get kidnapped and find out she was stolen when she was little then sold of to her adopted parents. Her real parents are found and she becomes great friends with her youngest sister Madison. Lauren, Jam and Madison go out and Madison is captured on the family boat with Lauren and the boat is crashed in to Rocks. Jam comes and helps them escape but Madison has to go to hospital but she is fine in the end. Lauren ends up going back and forth the to families. I think this book is an 11+ because of the kidnapping and violence but if some people like that then 9+.
