As the
youngest in the family, Sunny was happy when her older sister – and favourite
daughter - Jazz left to move to New York. With her out of the picture she hoped
the spotlight would finally be on her, but when news broke that Jazz’s
apartment building burnt down and she was suspected dead, her family went into
meltdown.
As a way of
coping with their grief, Sunny’s dad turned to alcohol and moved out while her
mum fell further into depression causing Sunny to become the parent in the
family.
So months
later when a letter arrives on Jazz’s signature stationary and in her
handwriting, Sunny is intrigued. Thinking it must have got lost in the post,
she’s in no hurry to read what her sister wrote, but when she opens it and
learns that Jazz is on her way home, she’s drawn to the date – 20th
May. Jazz died in February so she couldn’t have written a letter 4 days ago and
be on her way home – could she?
Although
short, this story made me want to read as quickly as possible to find out how
it ended and within a couple of hours I had my answer.
An
interesting and gripping read which I very much enjoyed.
