i watch the hoarding shows so i was immedietly drawn to this book. it was sad like all the shows are, but it was also differnt. Lucy a young teenage girl to the outside world shes a loving girl who babysits, and hangs with friends, but she has a secret and its her mothers hoard. shes been living in a dump for years. no one knows, and other family members wont help, so when tragety strikes Lucy is on her own to keep the secret safe. i liked this book, and suggest it to those who like the shows. even if you dont,read it you may like it
