#SCR2015 It's You by Jane Porter ( #MMBBR )

  I really enjoyed going on the journey with Ali through the pages of IT'S YOU.  There is so much complexity in this story...from the details in Ali's life to those of her father...to the many other intriguing characters throughout this novel.  You are taken into the past with these characters and watch while they are forced to face both the memories and circumstances that haunt them and also face the here and now.  This is one of those stories that leaves you feeling hopeful and positive.
