However, other aspects of the story are more congenial. One of my pet literary peeves right now, however, is the terrible-mother-who-ruins-everything. This story is a quick read with lots of dialogue. She is devastated to learn that his plans are different from hers. The two become fast friends, and as time progresses, she is sure they are meant to be more. (How does one get a slip of paper inside a helium balloon without losing the gas inside it? But let’s not dwell there.) Rather than falling into the ocean and choking a seabird to death, the balloon makes it to dry land, and Lucas finds it. At age 16, she had written a secret that she needed to share on a scrap of paper, along with her email address, stuffed it into a balloon and launched it into space. The premise here is that Emmie has fallen hard for a young man that she met years ago by pure chance. ![]()
