I thought about giving this book the label "spy" because our narrator is a young boy who is trying to find out the family secrets. He becomes quite the private eye and spies by listening in on phone calls, conversations, and going through his parent's things. Despite being in what seems like a happy family, his parents split up. His mom ends up with Eli, a seemingly very good match who is also divorced and is smitten with his mother. But Eli lives out of town and they don't see him very often. As time goes on, it seems like some things about Eli just don't add up. This puts the need for spying into high gear and even leads to some help from a real P.I. who helps him look up some information. So what is the story with Eli? I don't want to include any spoilers but this is the kind of book that makes you want to keep reading until things reveal themselves. I appreciate the way relationships are presented.
