Description
For sixteen-year-old Tiffany Sly, life hasn’t been safe or normal for a while. Losing her mom to cancer has her a little bit traumatized and now she has to leave her hometown of Chicago to live with the biological dad she’s never known.
Anthony Stone is a rich man with four other daughters—and rules for every second of the day. Tiffany tries to make the best of things, but she doesn’t fit into her new luxurious, but super-strict, home—or get along with her standoffish sister London. The only thing that makes her new life even remotely bearable is the strange boy across the street. Marcus McKinney has had his own experiences with death, and the unexpected friendship that blossoms between them is the only thing that makes her feel grounded.
But Tiffany has a secret. Another man claims he’s Tiffany’s real dad—and she has only seven days before he shows up to demand a paternity test and the truth comes out. With her life about to fall apart all over again, Tiffany finds herself discovering unexpected truths about her father, her mother and herself, and realizing that maybe family is in the bonds you make—and that life means sometimes taking risks.

Ugh. I don't know how I feel about this one. This is an incredibly fast-paced story that had me gripped from the very first page. I enjoyed the diverse cast of characters and Tiffany, the main character, is an outstanding protagonist that I will remember for a long time. However, I'm not sure how I feel about the way the problematic aspects of this book are treated. I was so fucking infuriated by the way some of the characters behaved and the ending resolved it in a way that is not only too easy, but problematic in and of itself. An apology doesn't make up for abuse.
