I read the whole Skinned series and 100% loved it. So I was a little bit surprised that I didn't like this book more. It was fine, just sort of blah. It was kind of slow, and I didn't really get hooked until the very end. I'll probably read the second, and I hope I like it better than this one.

a short read. seems intended for younger YAs, maybe age 11-15 or so.
be prepared to read books 2 & 3, as story is stretched out between them.

Interesting book, and it definitely piqued my interest. The character of J.D. is very realistic. I like the way things were able to slowly unfold and she started to get more suspicious, but then started thinking more and more that she was going crazy. I also liked the character of Daniel. Their relationship seems sort of rushed- maybe they just had a connection?- but he was definitely very helpful to J.D.

I worry about them in the next book- it is called Betrayed! I hope Daniel doesn't betray her!

I read this book in middle school, and then I was never able to find the rest of the series! I completely forgot it even existed! I might have sold it, because I couldn't find the other two in the series, but if I didn't I'm going to look for them and read them.

Chasing Yesterday, book one.

Imagine waking up in a hospital bed and having no idea of who you are or how you got there. This is exactly what happens to Jane Doe (or J.D., as she calls herself). She survived a terrible explosion, but can't remember anything about her life from before waking up in the hospital. Gradually, disturbing images start to emerge...but are they really memories, or the imaginings of a sick and dangerous mind?

Join J.D. as she races to recapture her memories and herself before it's too late. Exciting, page-turning action and a cliff-hanger ending that will send readers in search of book two.
