Australian teen Marlowe is crushed to learn that the family of the organ donor who gave her a new heart has refused contact. After Facebook sleuthing, Marlowe finds and befriends the sister of the boy she suspects is her donor. Marlowe's colorful family members and a prank war with a cute guy add comic relief to an otherwise weighty novel about loss, guilt, and gratitude.
