Hi...and yes, I'm a noob.
I loved IM, but one question about the book continues to pester me. Near the end we realize that Shane/Brandy knew the whole time that Shannon was his sister. What I keep coming back to is the revelation Brandy made earlier, that she loves Shannon, she wants to be a family and says,"This wouldn't be a sister thing...I still have all my original equipment." (p.257)
So, if Brandy knew Shannon was his/her sister, do you think it was a test to see if Shannon would reveal her true connection to Brandy? Or was it a sincere request to consummate their relationship?
Maybe I missed something. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I'm sad no one has any thoughts on my question. It's still bugging me!

i don't usually pick things apart, but just take them as they come, and it's been awhile since i read the book, but perhaps it was a red herring...maybe that was just to throw us off, or to totally point in another direction...just a thought

I wondered about that, too! I didn't know what to think of it, and it left me wondering after I'd finished the book. I came here to discuss it, but see that you & I seem to be the only ones wondering about this right now....?

I don't think Brandy/Shane was in love with shannon. I think that she just had a deep love for her, being her sister and all. But its interesting brandy said that, because i dont remember reading it.
