The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

Twenty-one-year-old Tanner doesn't want to do much but sleep and play video games.  In the past, she had great plans but an accident caused her to lose her scholarship and she had to come home.  She is so upset with the changes in her life that she doesn't exert any energy trying to find a job or planning to go back to school.  Her parents try to help her by getting her a job as a live-in caretaker for Louise, an 84-year-old woman who has broken her hip.  Louise feels that she's capable of taking care of herself but her daughter insists that she needs a live-in caretaker.  The initial meetings between Tanner and Louise don't give either of them fond feelings about each other.  In the beginning, they totally ignore each other.  Tanner plays video games while Louise entertains herself and insists on her two fingers of vodka every afternoon.  Louise wants a caretaker even less than Tanner wants to be one.  Soon  Tanner begins to notice some strange things at the house.  When she sees a news report of police looking into a jewel heist forty years earlier, she's shocked to see that one of the thieves looks just like Louise.  Things get even stranger when Louise goes to Tanner's room in the middle of the night and tells her that she will pay Tanner for taking her to California but they have to leave right now.    She has no idea why they are leaving in the middle of the night but suspects that it has something to do with the jewelry heist years ago.
