Description

Gabrielle Zevin, author of the bestselling novel Elsewhere, has crafted an imaginative second novel all about love and second chances. If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn't have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn't have hit her head. She wouldn't have woken up in the ambulance with amnesia. She would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might have even remembered why she fell in love with him. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her "Chief." She'd know her mom's new family. She'd know about her dad's fiancée. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future. But...Naomi picked heads.

Reviews

...

Characterization is especially well done in this captivating story of Naomi, a teenager who loses her memory after a bad fall. Caitlin Greer captures the tone and timbre of a young person in the process of finding herself--and discovering that she's not the person she thought she was. Revelations of Naomi's life--current and past--resonate in Greer's voice. Greer's performance perfectly reveals the author's latest exploration of the ethereal planes of human existence. Going beyond what is physically present, Zevin again pushes the envelope in depicting her character's psyche. Although the dialogue is not typical teen language, and the characters are mature beyond their years, both story and narration are compelling. D.L.M. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
