This was a book that at first I thought, okay, this is a ghost story. Then all of a sudden, it seemed to be a ghost/time travel story! But there were a few parts where there was like this alternate reality, and Alessa was dreaming about it. So then I thought maybe it was something even different. And it was. Turns out it is a dystopian society, and you learn this through bits and pieces of the "ghost"/"time travel" story that is going on. I like how it all ties in so well. All of it worked okay in my opinion. And each little odd thing that happened made you think as you were reading it. It kept you guessing right up till the end. Now, I'm not sure exactly where the next book will be going, but it will be interesting to see. I definitely recommend this book!

Wow, that is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this book that I just finished. I loved this. Such a good story! I'm going to have to go back and read The Wednesday Wars now.

A shocker of an ending! Great fit with the zombie/post-apocalyptic craze right now. Read the rest of my review at Lisa Loves Literature.

Oh my gosh, I don't know if I can say just how much I loved this book! The story was really good, but besides that, with it being my first year teaching 7th grade English, specifically about plots and narrative writing, I loved the titles of the chapters, and how the protagonist or main character explained what they meant and how she was doing that with that part of the story. I could totally see using this with my class some year when I'm teaching this in the future.
