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?

#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.

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.

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 30.11.17Complete

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?
