Reading this book was a wonderful experience in many different ways.
I really liked the writing style and the short chapters made it an even quicker read.
This is a character driven novel and I really liked Saffron aka Saffy's character development throughout the novel.
She belongs to an affluent family and has three siblings including Charlotte, her step-sister, who she doesn't like because she thinks Melanie, her step-mother is the reason her biological mother is not part of their family any more.
She finds a box filled with letters her Dad never sent out to her Mom in the attic when her mom was apparently sick. Saffy was 7 years old when her father lied about her Mom being sick and later being dead.
The story progresses as Saffy unfolds the truths of what actually happened. She makes silly decisions which were really annoying but overall I am glad she became sensible by the end of the novel.
She meets pretty interesting people when she decides to leave her house due to her father's lies. She sleeps under a bridge for two nights. She lives a life for a week like she'd never imagined before.
I also adored Tom's character and his prospective. His chapters were short and I waited to view things from his point of view. He cared for Saffy even when she was getting herself into trouble all the time.
