After an incident however, Rachel wakes up to find that
Jimmy is still very much alive. She is also engaged to Matt and her father is

the reality she knew was real at all, and whether to embrace the alternative
life she has been given or try to go back to the world she believed real where
Jimmy was dead. She faces obstacles she never knew existed, and has to decided
which man she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
My Thoughts:
This book was recommended to me by my mom! It has everything
I love in a book; original idea, some romance, plot twists, and sort of a
psychological thriller. The changing from both lives was seamless and well
thought out. The book had an appropriate pace and was told from Rachels POV, so
the reader found out info as the main character did, which added to the
suspense and the impact from the ending.
This is a suspenseful page turner, with some romance, and
concludes in a huge plot-twist that will leave you stunned. An utterly
thrilling novel with such an original concept that will hold your attention
throughout
