Marley is a 12 year old girl that lives in a place called Heaven. Although Marley believes the she lives the “perfect” life, suddenly everything she once knew is changing. Once Marley turns 14 she slowly begins realizing that her life has been full of lies. Marley’s parents aren’t really her parents, and she is not really Butchy’s sister. Marley’s Uncle Jack, the person who has been writing her amazing letters turns out to be her real father. Marley begins searching for herself at a young age and what it means to really have a family. The people who she thought were really her parents turn out to be her aunt and uncle, and Marley becomes even more upset because her family isn’t “perfect”. The book was a difficult read because it constantly switches viewpoints and places in time. I really liked how vivid Johnson wrote the story, especially in all of the letters.
