A new job leads Olivia to a gorgeous, mysterious boy named Theo.

{My Thoughts} – This book has a magical feel to it. Once I had started reading it I found it to be incredibly difficult to stop. I read the entire book in one sitting. Olivia is a seventeen-year old girl with a brother and two dads. She was adopted as a baby and recently has a hang up with wanting to find her birth mother. She meets a psychic and everything in her life seems to fall into place like tiny pieces of a puzzle that has been scattered for so long. This book is about love, devotion, acceptance, betrayal, sacrifice, understanding and learning to become your own person. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and hope to read more by this author in the future.
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.
