Everyone always says not to judge a book by its cover, but I decided to read this book because the title sounded cool and I liked the cover. It was an interesting twist on your typical mystery with a touch of romance. Poppy is a teenage girl in a family with a strict set of rules. They are constantly on the run and never stay in one place for too long. Poppy can’t really have friends (or a boyfriend) because her parents don’t want anyone to breach the security of their family and she never knows when her family is going to leave...sometimes in the blink of an eye. Oh, and her parents won’t tell her why they are on the run. She didn’t do anything wrong, her parents are in hiding for some reason unknown to her so she is in hiding too. Identity is what gives us our meaning and purpose so the idea of living without really knowing who your parents are or what your true identity is hard to wrap my head around. So what happens when Poppy taking a DNA test, unbeknownst to her parents? She is reaching the age that most people go off to college, but with her family situation that isn’t really discussed as an option. Confused and tired of the constant hiding she takes a brave step to figure out who her family really is. She had absolutely no idea what she was getting into. And then, there’s also the boy she meets in math class. I enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down because I was eager to find out what happened. Overall a good read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of suspense combined with teenage realistic fiction. Annabelle K., EO Blogger
