Remembrance

This one has been on my to-read for quite some time, and I'm so glad that I finally got to it! I really liked how real everything seemed, except the whole reincarnation thing, of course. Although, the way it's presented it does make you at least consider the posibility. I did love the addition of Alistair, since he added a hint of magical realism to the whole tale.

Lizzie is a normal teenage girl. She's not the most popular girl, or a total loser. She's not a genius, but she's definitely not dumb. She's pretty without being conceited or complaining about being plain. She's just Lizzie. Her relationship with her boyfriend, Jeremy, also felt very real. They're not exactly a happy couple, but anyone who's been in a long term relationship that's going down hill can definitely identify with them. Of course there's the dark, mysterious stranger, Drew. Someone so familiar to Lizzie, but she just can't seem to place her finger on it.

I breezed through this book! It was very light and sweet, and even though it wasn't fast paced, I didn't want to put it down. I was completely drawn in by the "we need to stay away from each other" type plot. We know they're suppose to be together, so it just added to the tension even if it is over-done in this genre. I just wanted to know what had happened in their past that makes Drew push Lizzie away at the beginning. While the ending is a happy one for the most part, I know there's more trouble brewing for Lizzie and Drew, and can't wait to find out how this love story ends!
