“I first wanted to read this book just by the title, hence the fact that my name was in it. I also love Jennifer Aniston and her role on Friends. I understand fully what Meg is going through not having a real family and finding that your whole life is a lie and that you are curious to know the truth and what really happened. I am blessed to have two wonderful parents that are happily married and living strong and have not had the experience of divorce or in Meg's case teen pregnancy and the father running away and never wanting to know the truth. The most heartbreaking moment is having your birth mother and father tell you that you are not wanted and that there is a reason why they had to get rid of you! It would be the worst thing to wish upon anyone and nobody deserves that life ever! I am so impressed of how Meg handled herself and did the right thing. This was all because she took the time and ever to travel to New York, have an open mind, meet amazing people and most importantly have the dedication to write letters to Jen for guidance! A great story every teenage girl can relate to.”

“I absolutely adore this book. Purchased at the Dollar Tree, I didn't really expect it to be that great. My expectations were proved false, because the book was one of the best I had read in a very long time. The characters are easy to relate to, and the story is paced very well.”

“Fifteen-year-old Meg Shanley has to start life over again in Los Angeles because her thirtyyear- old sister Lucie can’t get it together. Lucie is always chasing a new man, quitting her job, and packing up their lives. Meg wishes she didn’t have to count on Lucie, but she’s the only family Meg has ever known. Then a man arrives on their doorstep and reveals a shocking truth. Meg sees an opportunity to have the family she’s always dreamed about. She summons all her will, defies Lucie, and travels to New York. But happiness, she discovers, doesn’t lie in a new family. Instead it rests in the true source of her inner strength; in a secret that has been buried deep inside her heart.”
