I have had this series on my TBR for quite some time so am excited to be part of the audiobook tour. One thing I find interesting in the way the audiobook is set up, is it is basically all 3 books in one. But, that makes it hard to tell where one book will end and the next will begin until you get to that point as the Audible file doesn’t break it into separate books in the visual chapter menu.

I enjoyed the narrator’s voice and really liked the different accents and voices she gave to each character. I am definitely a fan of this type of narration, as it helps get into each character separately. The pacing and tone was enjoyable and this was definitely a good commute to work listen.

The story unfolds as our main character Lizzie meets Drew and begins to get flashes of their past life together. Piece by piece she gets the information she needs to believe what is happening and begin to understand her situation. I liked the way the story unfolded, and how she didn’t remember it all right away but only got the glimpses as they mirrored the actions of present day.

What got a bit less enjoyable was the high school double love triangle drama. Lizzie already has a long-time boyfriend. Then she meets Drew, who starts dating her best friend. I’m so not into double love triangle drama so that kind of got a few eye rolls from me as it unfolded.

Now, I would love to see some illustrations of the drawings Lizzie made. I want to see the dress she wore to the Halloween dance, and the dress she remembers at the ball. I’m glad the book covers show the masks because I was so curious to see those as intricately and beautifully they were described.

This book ends well, but you know something bad must be lurking, so I’m curious to finish the rest. A good, overall enjoyable listen. And finally gets me some books on my #shelflove challenge.
3.5 stars

I found this novella among the free ebooks one day, and the cover was very intriguing so I decided to give it a read (more professional than the hum drum of most self published, low quality books). This author does a great job with dialogue and emotions, and possesses a rare quality of showing not telling. I really enjoyed the emotions that flow through this book. The two main characters really stand out with clear personalities as they struggle with their blooming romance in the heat of their final year of high school. Clearly edited and proofread, which is also rare to see these days, too.

Do not let my 4 stars deter you from reading this entertaining story. The only reason it didn't capture 5 stars was a lack of depth in the historical flashbacks (but I'm a History and English professor, so I'm a big of a snob in that respect). I kept waiting for a dynamic explanation why the lovers were having flashbacks to the Victorian Era, and really wanted to see how their souls were connected. But it never came. There was literally no reason why they were having historical flashbacks except for a vaguely mentioned sort of reincarnation, but even that is never directly stated. I feel like this author didn't do enough research into being historically connected, but for what it's worth, I still think it was decently written.

Would I buy another book from this author? Absolutely. Even with a faulty historical issue, I really enjoyed this YA story. It's very rare to see an unknown author who has complete control of characters and scenes. Check out Remembrance for a memorable story of two lovers and their entwined destiny.
Meeting the person I'm supposed to be with has been my dream my whole life. I'm not a young adult but I enjoy reading the young adult novels. They are so full of angst and love and joy. Yes, they also have tears, anger, and hurt. But that's life. Especially for a young adult. I remember. Unfortunately I missed that special person in this life but I'm hopeful for the next life. The story of Lizzie and Drew had all the things that young adults go through and I laughed and cried and found hope. Good work Michelle. I can't wait to read more of your writing.
** spoiler alert ** In all honesty I wasn't going to read this, much less buy it. I saw the cover a while back, and glanced at the summary. "Oh," I thought. "Taylor swift. Cool." And I went on with my day. But while I was on buying new books ANYWAY a few weeks later, I looked at it and thought "Why not?"

I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was super pleased.

The third grade summary report would read "A girl meets a new mysterious guy at school and falls in love."
Face it, I wasn't good at summarizing in third grade. Because that describes a lot of books. Among them The much debated 'Twilight'.

This brings me to point one of what I like about this book.

Point One Madow writes about a real teenage girl; not a real "literary" teenage girl, who shrinks when the boy of her dreams (or memory) tries to ignore her. When *Spoiler alert from now to a while down* Drew starts his hot and cold act, Liz calls him on it and tells him to cut it out. I loved this, seeing as most books I read have the girl feeling insecure and moping about it.

Point Two Liz's loyalty to Chelsea is admirable. We've all heard of the girl code, but how often do you read it? She's head over heels in love with this guy, but her best friend wants to go out with him so Liz backs off.

Point Three I admire the way she snuck the ideas of previous lives well before it became obvious. I found myself understanding Drew's broodiness as frustration without having to be told "Hey, he knows something." It's almost masterful how Michelle snuck that in there.

Few more things I have a favorite line. It's not a gushy love line, though I had my share of favorites in that category. It's a line that I've thought many times myself.

"It [soccer] would be much more interesting if every so often, the ball spontaneously exploded."
