I wish you were here (and i wasn't)

I just started reading Every Soul A Star by Wendy Mass.Before I read I had a prediction.I pedicted since the title is Every Soul A Star,that it had something to do with people that are probarly all different but are special in there own way. After reading the first three chapters I learned that this book is told from three extremly different perspectives,and somehow,some strange way they will probarly come together? ( atleast that's what I think from what I've read). Also I had a word that really confused me, the word was inherited. After reading around the word I learned that inherited meant to recieve through a parents genes.
