Sixteen-year-old Maya and seventeen-year-old Lochan have never had the chance to be 'normal' teenagers. Having pulled together for years to take care of their younger siblings while their wayward, drunken mother leaves them to fend alone, they have become much more than brother and sister. And now, they have fallen in love.
But this is a love that can never be allowed, a love that will have devastating consequences . . .
'How can something so wrong feel so right?'
I have to say, that this book had a huge impact on me.First I thought oh my god incest...it couldn't be good.But after a few chapters I couldn't put it down.I was never a fan of brother-sister love, but during this book I could just support and cheer this love.
So there's a family with problems.The mother always leaves for a drink or disappear for a week with her boyfriend.It would be okay, but she has 5 children. Lochan,Maya,Kit,Tiffin and Willa.
Lochan and Maya try to keep together the family.They cook, take their siblings to the school, etc.
But they also have personal problems,like Lochan can't communicate with anybody except his family.He hates to speak.The only person who understands him is Maya. Maya tries to help him, but sometimes it's just impossible.
At some point they start to have different feelings for each other.They struggle to keep up the brother-sister image. They realize that is not right,also it's illegal,so if anybody finds it out than their siblings will be taken to an other family.They try to resist,but they can't, so they keep it as a secret and at night they try to be together.There are secret kisses,glances,nights.
During the book, Lochan and Kit have several fights.But at the end they work it out.But the problem is that Lochan tried to help Kit at the school with a trip and everything went wrong.
Maya and Lochan thought that they will have a relaxing weekend together 'cause Kit will go on a school trip and Willa and Tiffin will visit their aunt.So they done the worse thing that the could done and because of Kit( he got pissed of because of Lochan he couldn't go to the trip) their mom found out their complicated relationship.
I don't want to write too much spoiler so if you want to know the ending than you have to read the book.
One thing I could say is, that it will bring out some tears and you will think about the book for weeks,'cause you can't forget it .
These are one of my favorite quotes from the book:
"You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel."
"There are no laws,no boundaries on feelings. "
"Because at the end of the day that's what we're all trying to do: fit in, one way or another, desperately trying to pretend we're all the same. "
