"From the outside, Lucy's home looks normal. The secrets are all on the inside: Towering piles of newspapers and magazines. Bags of junk flooding every inch of open space. A rotting smell permeating the air. This is the awful truth she's kept hidden - that her mother's hoarding has overwhelmed their lives with garbage and shame. With only two years until graduation, Lucy plans on maintaining the lies until it's her turn for a normal life, one where she can be honest with her friends... And maybe even have a boyfriend. But when she comes home one morning to find a situation she might not be able to cover up, Lucy must make a decision. Should she finally tell the truth? Or find a way to keep their secret forever?"
Review:
When I first opened the pages to this book it held a lot of promise. And, in some ways, it did surprise me. But in others, it failed to keep me interested. I was eager to see if anyone would discover Lucy's secret but the book mostly consisted of back stories behind all the junk within her home. I do have to say the ending was VERY well written. I finally was sitting at the edge of my seat, thinking I knew what would happen next and was steered in the opposite direction!! So I have to say on a scale of 1-10 this book was a decent 7.
