The astonishing new novel from the incomparable, multi-award-winning and Laureate, Sarah Crossan. I am not who I say I am, and Marla isn't who she thinks she is. I am a girl trying to forget. She is a woman trying to remember. Allison has run away from home, and with nowhere to live, finds herself hiding out in the shed of what she thinks is an abandoned house. But the house isn't empty. An elderly woman named Marla, with dementia, lives there – and she mistakes Allison for an old friend from her past called Toffee. Allison is used to hiding who she really is, and trying to be what other people want her to be. And so, Toffee is who she becomes. After all, it means she has a place to stay. There are worse places she could be. But as their bond grows, and Allison discovers how much Marla needs a real friend, she begins to ask herself - where is home? What is a family? And most importantly, who am I, really?

    Dit was echt een onwijs goed boek. Ondanks de zware onderwerpen las het verhaal erg snel. Het format was voor mij nieuw, maar ik ben er enthousiast over. Het enige minpunt vond ik de manier waarop het boek eindigde. Ik vond het een beetje afgeraffeld en incompleet.
