This book is not what it seems - to me the title screams chick lit, but it is actually way better than that.
The Girl Who Just Appeared introduces us Holly Smith who has never fitted in. And on being told by her Mum that she was adopted she suddenly understands why.
On the death of her adopted parents, Holly goes on a search of her real family which leads her to move from London to Liverpool and the discovery of a biscuit tin underneath the floorboards that contains a diary and could be a key to her past.
The diary tells the story of Darren, a fifteen-year-old boy who is trying to negotiate life with a mother who isn’t easy to live with.
Moving between the past and the present Darren and Holly’s lives become intertwined and Holly is not going to give up getting answers to all her questions.
