Before reading this book, I had no idea what an impact getting struck by lightning has on a person. Of course, I know it could kill a person, but I didn't realize that it causes lifelong health problems and that you need to constantly get checked for symptoms for the rest of your life. There are even support groups like the one in this book, which I had never thought about before. I learned a lot in this book.
I loved Rachel. She was very real. She had ups and downs, like a real person. I could feel her pain, both when dealing with her mom and her boyfriends. I even had tears in my eyes at the end. It was emotional but powerful.
I liked how not all of the information was given right at the beginning of the book. It takes a while to learn about Rachel's past, including what her injury was that caused the scars on her legs. Since this information was held back, it made me want to keep reading.
One thing that was a little confusing was that the first few chapters alternated between the present and the past, during Rachel's relationship with Reed. It would have been helpful if there was a signal at the beginning of the chapters to show that it was flashing back in time or returning to the present. Once the flashbacks caught up to the present, it continues in the present, so that was only for a few chapters at the beginning.
I loved this book! I'll be recommending it for a while.
I received a copy of this book from the distributor, Thomas Allen & Son.
