Summary from Barrington Stoke
Ketty was technically dead for two minutes and thirty-nine seconds,
according to the doctors who saved her. She’s on the mend but she
doesn’t remember anything about the accident, or much from before. The
doctors say her memories will come back but in the meantime school is
frightening and confusing. Her only friend seems to be Otis, and he may
just hold the key to remembering the old Ketty…
Nayu's thoughts
I
squeed when this arrived in the post as I love Karen's books,
especially the ones wth Barrington Stoke and Cathy's work, which captures
emotions perfectly. As a fangirl I thought this book was epic with
the deep emotions and cunning twists that Karen delivers to shock and
make me see most of the story in a new light, this one is no
exception.
I think there's something fascinating about people with
amnesia-it must be so scary for them do things they used to do but
can't remember doing, and unable to figure out who people are. These
are elements that Karen picks up on and works into Ketty's story.
I
was clueless about the story twist, thinking one thing about Ketty
when the opposite was true. I did guess about her hair a few sentences
before that part was revealed-yay! Ketty learns a big lesson when she
regains her memories, one that I hope other people in time forgive her
for what she did. That's all I'm saying about this wonderful read
that is beautiful in every way a story can be. I love it!!! Defintely
heading to be with my other Karen books.
