Finn is second best to his older brother Alex.  The pressure to meet or exceed all of Alex's successes are suffocating Finn both at school and at home where there are constant reminders that he will always fall short in intelligence, looks, athleticism, and social skills. He would rather be invisible than continue to just be 'Alex's brother.' 

Each day is a depressing repeat of the day before, until one day when a blue envelope shows up in his locker. He assumes it was meant for someone else, but then the blue envelopes continue to appear. 

It becomes clear that they are meant for him, but what do they mean and what could the sender possibly want from someone like him?

****THIS IS A SEQUEL. To be able to follow this story, please read "Unravelling" first**** Lily has started into the new year with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, anticipation - and dread. Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information. For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer. What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior? With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late? Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.

#38 in Mystery as of 2/1/18. #93 in Chicklit.... A pair of beautiful warm lips, a rush of passion, a feeling of being complete once and forever, a pair of beautiful eyes as deep as the ocean, beautiful dark hair reaching up to his neck, which shone brown in the sun, and then he comes near me and holds my hands gently. I lose myself in his eyes, there's nothing except those liquid eyes which could see into my soul, I tried to see his face. But it was all a blur, a soft pair of lips touched mine as gentle as a feather but it created a rush of electricity in my body. I wanted to own every bit of him... then again my head was spinning...I lost my balance, I fell down and my head hit the floor. The whole world spun and I found my sight dimming. My head hurt and yet I tried to push through the curtain of darkness, His face...I had to see his face...and yes I could see a pair of eyebrows, a perfect smile and then the outline of his face was forming....I was sweating from the exertion and then the world plunged into darkness. And I lost myself in the endless abyss of unconsciousness. What do you think happens when you can't remember the person you loved? #543 in Romance as of 30.11.17
