It’s not because these events lack rationales or can’t happen it’s because they are not set up in a way that readers will find credible. For example, it seems unlikely that Luna would be befriended by a grown-up model (Luna’s mother was also a model) or that she’d get a gallery to showcase her photography. Yet much of the material doesn’t ring true. Although the story is somewhat repetitious, it’s a strong idea and the book contains various delights. As Luna continues to plumb the mystery, she learns not only that truth can be illusive but that there can be many truths. Each contains a clue that opens a door to a different aspect of her mother’s life, which in turn forces Luna out of her comfort zone and into the wider world. When 15-year-old Luna finds her dead mother’s cell phone, she embarks upon a quest to learn the truth about her death and, in a larger sense, her life.
