Did you ever think about what your life would be like ten years from now? Imagine waking up one day and it's ten years later. Who would you be? What would you be doing? More importantly, would you like the person you have become?
Alice Love struggles with this when she falls at the gym and wakes up and loses the last ten years of her life. She thinks she's madly in love with her husband and is pregnant with her first child when in reality, she has three children now and is getting divorced.
The author constructs a perfect story tackling the reality of change, infertility and events in one's life that cannot be changed no matter how much one may wish it to be so. Alice struggles to understand what happened between her and her husband, Nick to make them divorce and to make him hate her as much as he seems to. She doesn't understand how she has grown apart from her sister or her old friends and she doesn't understand the person she has supposedly become. Before, she was carefree and open to ideas, while ten years later, she is closed off, strict, and "busy, busy, busy."
It's interesting to see how the author addresses certain issues throughout the novel as she crafts a perfect story to tackle them. I enjoyed the book and it made me think about how much a person can change over the years; how no one stays the same and how it is very possible that one can change from an easygoing person to one that you don't recognize in the future. It makes you think about how certain people and events can effect your life as well as the ones around you. I loved this story. It's one that holds a grip on your mind for a while after reading, making you think about life and the future as well as the lives around you and how easily everything can change over time.

While I continue to enjoy the series a lot, some parts can be overly cheesy. I love Sookie's character and her word of the day calendar quirk. But the whole Elvis being a vampire concept, for me, is just weird and it's not my favorite when he comes into each book. While his presence is at a minimum throughout most of the books, I find myself cringing when he does come into the story.
While Sookie is a lovely character who tries to stick to her values as much as she can, she tends to get herself into more trouble than not owing more and more people within the supernatural community. She's a hot headed woman who usually doesn't need a man even though she has a line of suitors to choose from. The mystery in this novel was well done but once we get to see who is finally shooting the shifters, everything seemed very rushed and I didn't feel like the readers got the mystery revealed the way the story deserved. From then on the rest of the book went by quickly with the werewolves competition for pack master and figuring out the identity of the other shooter. I wish there was more time and explanations in between as I felt it just went by fast.
Overall I enjoyed the book as well as the story line and look forward to the next one.
