Figured out pretty quickly this was too near-present for me. I’m also not looking for a YA love triangle plot right now.

i really enjoyed the start of this book -- the surreality of reese experiencing the june incident and trying to get home, then suffering trauma, and after that, trying to live life as normal as possible, but knowing something is off the entire time. i thought this was pretty well done and interesting, though i do think it got a little predictable by the end, and im not sure if i'll finish the series.

This book has an interesting premise, some exciting parts, and a mystery that kept me guessing. However, the main characters aren't very compelling (especially the POV character, who spends most of the book dithering about whether or not to do anything) and there is a huge expanse of pages in the middle of the book where nothing really happens. I feel like 200 pages could easily be cut without losing much. It's a shame because it started out with a bang but by the time the big twist is revealed I didn't really care anymore.
