Summary
On rainy days, Anne built Harry and Louis blanket forts in the family room and they’d spend hours inside, talking and laughing and reading stacks of books by torchlight. In the darkness, their silhouettes were stitched to the sheets of the brightly-lit tent like cameos in a golden locket. Part of her wished she could keep them that way forever, wished they would be children forever, their sun-browned skin smelling of salt, their little arms tight around her neck as they pulled her into a hug.

Summary
Gracie didn’t know how to tell her parents that the other kids at school teased her mercilessly...Even her teachers whispered about it when they thought she couldn’t hear and some of the cruel ones, well, they didn’t even bother to whisper. Gracie stuck up for them at first - stuck up for the boys who had given her baths and kissed her scrapes and built her blanket forts in the living room, the boys who had lifted her up in an airplane above their heads, who had told her more interesting stories about the world than all the storybooks crowding her bookshelves ever could. But then, they stopped coming round and the images started to fade and warp, to curl in at the edges. She started to believe the lies they told about them and she hated them as much as anyone, maybe even more.
And now, she was going to live with them.
