My step dad is wonderful, and I love him dearly. He let me live with him and my younger half-brother when my mum walked out on us, but I now have a family of my own, and I would like my biological father to know us.

How I did it: I ignored everything else that was happening, and didn't sleep. :)Ok, so I have four small kids, and they needed looking after, but other than that, I just kept reading until I finished it.I had already worked out most of what was going to happen, but the actual ending was brilliant, and I love re-reading it again andĀ again!
