So this book sounded really good from the description, but I guess I expected the author to take this down a different path than she did. Gaby goes to see her father before he passes away. His last words to her were, "I stole you." What does that mean?? I thought it was obvious from page one who Cassie was to Gaby, so was a little surprised I guess when that whole storyline came up. So who is Gaby? She sets out to find out, I did feel the book was a little long. I'm not saying it was a bad book, just not the story I expected. It was written well. It could have been a great thriller I think if the author would have gone another direction.

Impressive. Great read. I could not put this book down. I would highly recommend it. I wasn't sure if I would initially since it was set in Ireland, but i quickly fell in love with rhe story.

This is a moving story about family secrets, blood ties, grief, and the real meaning of family.

Gaby has always felt that she doesn't quite fit in with the rest of her family, but it is only upon her father's death that she begins to realise that there may be more to this feeling of hers.

Why did her father say, "I stole you" on his deathbed? What on earth could he have meant? Nothing she knows about her loving parent fits with such an utterance.

Without informing her family, Gaby decides to go ahead with a DNA test. and what she discovers rocks her world, and splinters her sense of identity. So, the question is what she will do with this newfound knowledge...

This is a heartbreaking yet redeeming story that will tug at readers' emotions. The universal issues that it raises go to the core of what it means to love, to lose, and indeed, to be human. It gets 3.5 stars.

Gaby travels from New York when her father is dying. His last words were "I stole you". She is puzzled, and does a DNA test without her mother's knowledge and is surpised at the results.

This is a novel with a lot of impact.
Gaby has always felt like she never really belonged in the family, but had no idea why.
There are twists and reveals, and only in the final part of the book, does the reader find out the whole truth.

I recommend, it is a book that pulls at the heartstrings.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book.

Three small words uttered by your father on his deathbed... You must have misheard, right? If not, they are about to turn your world upside down. But not only yours. Life will never be the same again for those involved. For some, it will be something they have been waiting for for years. For others it can have far reaching consequences. 

You want to get to the bottom of it and when you realise what it all meant, you are in dubio. To tell or to remain silent? To be close to them or to stay away?

When push comes to shove, the decision is easy to make because it's the only way to bring the person responsible for all the heartache down, once and for all.

I thought I had figured out the why, but OMG I could not have been more wrong. I loved the fact some of the characters finally decided that enough was enough and they stood up for themselves. 

Real love never dies even if you have not always been together. 5 stars

Thank you
