i loved this book to the core. it made me to start thinking back to how i've lived my life. about all the mistakes i have made and definitely all the lies i have made up! i think that everyone secretly wishes they were like Owen Armstrong. u knw, always saying what you think whether it hurts or not. or always telling the truth no matter what kind of trouble it would get you. after i read this book, it made me realise how we as humans are so dishonest. I wish we could all just have the strength and willpower to always tell the truth and always speak up. As for Annabel Greene, she just needed someone to listen to her. it had mostly been about her sisters. first her sister having an eating disorder and her Mother been so fragile to here the truth. But thankfully, she found someone that was willing to listen in Owen Armstrong. :)
