WHY CAN'T YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU FORGET ...AND WHAT YOU REMEMBER? There's a lot Zoey would like to forget. Like how her father has knocked up his twenty-four- year old girlfriend. Like Zoey's fear that the whole town will find out about her mom's nervous breakdown. Like darkly handsome bad boy Doug taunting her at school. Feeling like her life is about to become a complete mess, Zoey fights back the only way she knows how, using her famous attention to detail to make sure she's the perfect daughter, the perfect student, and the perfect girlfriend to ultra-popular football player Brandon. But then Zoey is in a car crash, and the next day there's one thing she can't remember at all-the entire night before. Did she go parking with Brandon, like she planned? And if so, why does it seem like Brandon is avoiding her? And why is Doug-of all people- suddenly acting as if something significant happened between the two of them? Zoey dimly remembers Doug pulling her from the wreck, but he keeps referring to what happened that night as if it was more, and it terrifies Zoey to admit how much is a blank to her.
Controlled, meticulous Zoey is quickly losing her grip on the all-important details of her life-a life that seems strangely empty of Brandon, and strangely full of Doug.
This review was originally posted on The Bumbling Bookworm
I'd heard so many good things about Jennifer Echols and I was so excited to read this book. I hadn't read of any of Echols books before, so I jumped on this one when I saw it in my library. Unfortunately, that was the last of my excitement.
This book was almost a DNF for me, and that's saying a lot as I rarely DNF. As it was, I pushed through and tried to make the best of a bad situation. It wasn't the quality of the writing that was the problem; it was more so the fact that I couldn't stand any of the characters, nor did I understand any of their actions. The whole book just seemed unrealistic to me.
