This moving and beautifully crafted novel about identity, sisterhood and love ultimately asks one question: what does it mean to want and have a soulmate?

Tema nimi on Marla ja tema jaoks olen ma Iiris, ehkki vanemad panid mulle nimeks Allison. Allison põgeneb kodust ja avastab, et on lageda taeva alla jäänud. Peavarju otsides leiab ta maja, mis tundub mahajäetuna. Kuid ei, majas elab üksinda mälu kaotanud vana naine, kes Allisoni nähes peab teda oma noorpõlvesõbrannaks Iiriseks. Miks ka mitte? Võib ju olla ka Iiris, et oleks mõnda aega peavari ja toit. Alguses proovib Allison vana naist lihtsalt ära kasutada, kuid sedamööda kuidas ta hakkab aru saama, et Marla poeg kohtleb oma ema üsna sarnaselt sellega, kuidas Allisoni isa oma tütart kohtles, tekib nende vahel mõistmine. Sellest edasi juba tugi ja hoolitsus. Lõpuks iseseisvumine. Mingis varjulises mälusopis mäletame me teineteist alati. Sarah Crossan on mitme tunnustatud noorteromaani autor.

Years after the Switch, life inside the Pod has moved on. A poor Auxiliary class cannot afford the oxygen tax which supplies extra air for running, dancing and sports. The rich Premiums, by contrast, are healthy and strong. Anyone who opposes the regime is labelled a terrorist and ejected from the Pod to die.
Sixteen-year-old Alina is part of the secret resistance, but when a mission goes wrong she is forced to escape from the Pod. With only two days of oxygen in her tank, she too faces the terrifying prospect of death by suffocation. Her only hope is to find the mythical Grove, a small enclave of trees protected by a hardcore band of rebels. Does it even exist, and if so, what or who are they protecting the trees from?
A dystopian thriller about courage and freedom, with a love story at its heart.

I am not who I say I am,
and Marla isn't who she thinks she is.

I am a girl trying to forget.
She is a woman trying to remember.

Allison has run away from home and with nowhere to live finds herself hiding out in the shed of what she thinks is an abandoned house. But the house isn't empty. An elderly woman named Marla, with dementia, lives there – and she mistakes Allison for an old friend from her past called Toffee.

Allison is used to hiding who she really is, and trying to be what other people want her to be. And so, Toffee is who she becomes. After all, it means she has a place to stay. There are worse places she could be.

But as their bond grows, and Allison discovers how much Marla needs a real friend, she begins to ask herself - where is home? What is a family? And most importantly, who am I, really?
