Welcome to Litsy!

The heartbreaking sequel to “I Hadn‘t Meant to Tell You This”. Lena and Dion load their backpacks and run off one evening before their dad returns from work. They cut their hair short to present as boys (when they‘re picked up by male drivers). Just one of the hundreds of lies they must use to avoid social service intervention—they often hang out near safer spots like hospital lobbies, libraries, and diners. 💔💔

4/5⭐ Whatever I felt was missing from the first book (I Hadn't Meant to Tell You This), this sequel made up for completely. It was heartbreaking, and I was completely invested in Lena and her sister Dion making a better future for themselves, though they never should have needed to in the first place. The people they met who helped them infused a very dark situation with hope.
