Ander didn't treat Grace right at all and I could not stand them together. He did have problems with his home life, but turning to drinking just made his character the absolute worst. His drinking problem was, well, a problem, and I could not stand how he acted. Everything about Grace just made her so enjoyable to read about and her story was one I won't soon forget.Īnder was awful and I seriously disliked him. Her relationship with her twin, Jem, was so wonderful and sad and really reminded me of my relationship with my younger brother. She cared so much about her family and wanted to do well for herself and she constantly struggled with doing what was best for her while trying not to hurt her parents or her twin brother. To say she was just an all around good character feels like I'm doing a disservice to her, but she really was. Grace was a delight to read about! She was a character I could definitely relate to because she had anxiety and was basically just a walking ball of nervousness. This entire book was written so well and as soul crushing as it was, I was really happy that I decided to sit down and 'just read the synopsis.' I didn't expect this to really do much for me and I completely wrote this off at first as something that would just be kind of okay in my opinion.

It built so much suspense and when the big reveal happened, I literally jumped out of my chair. It progressed nice and easy and definitely had moments where it would end a chapter on a mini cliffhanger and you would have to read through a full chapter of either Then or Now until you got to find out what happened. The alternating timeline was kind of eh to me, but I did enjoy getting the build up to the reason behind Grace's Falls. It's hard to discuss the plot in full without giving anything away, but it was just really, truly a good book. This book is told in alternating timelines so you get to see how Grace got to where she's at currently with her Falls and let me tell you, it's not something you expect. I loved the idea of Grace waking up in different versions of herself, kind of like alternate realities that she had to navigate properly. It's beautiful and heartbreaking and the ending will catch you off guard and you won't believe what you just read. I think the best way to describe this book is to say that it's not what you think.

But this time, she's trying something different.

Five days until everything starts all over again in a new life, a new Grace's body. Five days to find her boyfriend, Ander, and try to escape their killer, Finn. She doesn't know why this is happening to her, only that she has five days until she Falls again. That has become Grace's life now ever since she started Falling.
