Now, Tilly must grapple with her overwhelming guilt and her growing feelings for Roo's boyfriend, Newton — the only other person who seems to get what Tilly is going through.But Tilly might be the only person who can solve the mystery of her sister's condition — who can see through Roo's silence to the truth underneath.
