14 posts | 25 read | 7 to read
For fans of One Day, What Alice Forgot, and the hit film Sliding Doors, comes an absorbing and surprising debut novel about a young woman who, after an accident, gets a second chance at life . . . just not in one she remembers. Rachel Wiltshire has everything shes ever wanted: a close group of friends, a handsome boyfriend, and acceptance to the journalism program at her top-choice college. But one fateful evening, tragedy tears her world apart. Five years later, Rachel returns home for the first time to celebrate her best friends wedding. Still coping with her grief, she cant stop thinking about the bright future she almost had, if only that one night had gone differently. But when a sudden fall lands her in the hospital, Rachel wakes to find that her life has completely changed. Now the people she loves most are not the way she remembers them. Unable to trust her own recollections, Rachel tries to piece together what really happened, and not even she can predict the astonishing truth.

Beautifully written story about a young woman who loses one of her good friends, when a car hits a restaurant window, near where she and her friends are sitting. A very sensitive story of how Rachel reacts, and how she copes with the aftermath.
It was an interesting read, and the second book that I have read of Dani Atkins. She is truly a brilliant writer.

I definitely was expecting something completely different with this book. Great storyline and an ending that I promise you won‘t predict.

I don't have many books with #thebacksofwomen. This is the only one I found. Has anyone read it?

Seit dem Wochenende begleitet mich dieses Buch. Als Leser wurde ich mitten hinein geworfen und bin einfach gebannt von der Geschichte.

Liedie @Buchpuzzle Ein tolles Buch! 7y

Wow. This book really sucks you in. from the opening pages I was hooked. I have to say that I got a bit confused with the second and third chapter but I soon figured it out. Can't say I really liked any of the characters but the plot is so good the characters didn't really matter to me. Loved the ending, it was like you could choose the ending that suited you. Would recommend this book.

I guess what you have to ask yourself is how much time and energy you want to spend on looking backwards.
