Review
This seemed like a huge heartfelt novel the moment I read
the summary. I pictured a book where the heroine goes through something and
grows from the experience. That is exactly how I can sum it up. Robin isn’t
really a heroine, just a regular girl who did something stupid with her best
friend and is living with the consequences. This is a coming of age book, where
real feelings come to light and how the character deals with these emotions. Once
Robin wakes up, she is once again confronted with her usual problems with friends,
family, popularity, etc. The difference is that this time she starts to see it
from a different perspective. She sees it with new eyes.
It was great seeing how her memories took me back with her,
and then brought me back to the present with how she now feels about that
moment in time. It was very sincere and genuine. From 1-10? I give it a strong
6.
