十五歲的露娜擁有一對令人稱羨的父母,父親是成功的電影導演,母親是超級時尚名模。好景不常,一年前,露娜的母親在紐約東村遭計程車撞倒身亡,至今露娜、父親與弟弟始終無法走出哀慟的陰霾。露娜試著打起精神整理母親的舊工作室,驚訝地在裡面發現母親的手機,不但充了電,還顯示有七通未聽留言!

她按捺不住好奇聽起留言內容,卻意外窺見母親未知的一面,一直以來最理所當然的信念與依靠也從此被推翻。她開始懷疑父母的關係,以及自己的生母其實另有他人,而關於母親的死,她所知的也許並非真相的全貌……

露娜對母親的一切重新展開調查,隔壁拉大提琴的可愛男孩也來助她一臂之力,一通通留言帶領她與各形各色的人相遇,也促成了戀愛的萌芽。《你有七通留言》(You Have Seven Messages)是一個探索愛與原諒的成長故事,露娜始料未及的探尋使她漸漸領悟感情關係與生命的複雜面,以及謊言與真相背後,大人希望孩子免於經歷成長苦澀的用心。

喜歡《漢娜的遺言》(Thirteen Reasons Why)的讀者也將為這個故事著迷。
