honest review from the author.
Synopsis via Goodreads:

Heather Wardell may be the master of
book dealing with serious issues. I was hooked by first couple pages. It is so intense.
I cannot imagine going through this. The scenes with Kate learning about
technology and the internet very early on were quite humorous. But there were
some very sad scenes as she caught herself up on the world tragedies that had
happened during the time she had forgotten. Those were very hard scenes for me
to get through.
I don’t want to give away any spoilers,
but I wish that I could gush about all my favorite parts of this novel. I can
say that I hate Claire. HATE her.
I normally dislike love triangles, but
I’m not sure this one counts. I wasn’t even sure who I wanted to root for. I
could kind of see reasons to choose either of the men. Some of the scenes with
both men were so heartbreaking.
I loved the journey that Kate took.
There were twists and turns and some moments that you just couldn’t believe
because they were so unexpected. This book equals amazing. I could not put it
down.
Will someone please read this book so
that we can chat about it? Please?

Wow this actually does sound really good... I wonder if I could find it at the library. It almost sounds like Overboard, that Goldie Hawn movie, lol. But you know, different and better.
ReplyDeleteI really like Heather Wardell it's YA that makes you think and doesn't condescend.
