Alex isn't one who is obsessed with mysteries. She wants a life that is “normal”. An autistic brother and a disappearing mother doesn’t help her achieve her dreams. Her father is back in their lives, but things aren’t staple. In fact, they are downright strange. It was only after Alex begins to notice clues left for her did I really find myself getting drawn in. Why did it take me so long? I think because I couldn’t quite relate to the main characters at first. Then I joined in the journey.


The clues were not something I would have picked up on. They were very specific for Alex. Only she was able to pick up on them and begin following up. Normally, I’m involved (from my perspective) in solving the mystery. In this one, I wasn’t able to. I was just along for the ride. This wasn’t a pro or a can for the story. It made the read interesting and different for me.


Without giving away too much, I’ll say that some things became obvious as Alex and Ollie tried to find their father. That didn’t detract from enjoying the story as I began to focus more on the kids. They had a unique relationship and very interesting personalities which drew me in as I continued to read. I couldn’t help smiling as I’d read their interactions and imagined it all in my head.
