When seventeen year old Saffron finds a briefcase in the attic, the contents change her life drastically. She discovers how her father has been lying to her for 10 years about her mother and the knowledge of this lie causes their family life to spiral.
I found Saffron, as a character, quite hard to like but at the same time, you can understand why she reacted the way she did. After believing something for so long it’s hard to find out that there was no truth in it, but sometimes the truth is a lot harder to bear than a lie told with good intentions.
I feel like this book did a good job of showing homelessness, how it can happen through a multitude of different situations and how these people are unjustly judged for being homeless and how vulnerable they can be.
This is especially the case when Saffron gets groomed, this man making her question her family and friends and how they don’t really care about her but he does and he’ll look after her.
One of the best things about this book was Saffron’s friend Tom. Although it was Saffron’s story, Tom played a massive role in it and without him, she would have ended up in a very difficult situation.
This book was a quick read, the writing easy to get into and overall it was okay.
