Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine. Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?
Then Delaney meets Troy Varga, who recently emerged from a coma with similar abilities. At first she's reassured to find someone who understands the strangeness of her new existence, but Delaney soon discovers that Troy's motives aren't quite what she thought. Is their gift a miracle, a freak of nature-or something much more frightening?
For fans of best-sellers like Before I Fall and If I Stay, this is a fascinating and heart-rending story about love and friendship and the fine line between life and death.
My rating - 1 star
My Review
Please note that I DID NOT FINISH this book, so I can't judge the ending as I didn't read it. There are so many YA novels out there that are basically copies of each other and I'm always looking out for a fresh read. Unfortunately this wasn't one.
The things that I found annoyed me the most were the main character and the romance. I liked the main character's best friend but I found the protagonist herself selfish and annoying, and I just wanted to jump into the pages to punch her in the face.
That's all I'm going to say because I could rant about this book all day, and it's 3am so I need some shut-eye. It's such a shame because a lot of my Goodreads friends loved it and many other people do as well. So please don't be put off by my review, you may enjoy it.
