Okay, so this is absolutely, positively, undoubtedly one of my all time favorite books. This summer I read it on my free time during an intense backpacking trip and it has stuck with me since. I recommend it to everyone, because everyone can connect with the main character Naomi. This story is about figuring out who you were, and who you want to be. It’s about family problems, and friendships and of course love.
This is the greatest description for a book that I have ever seen:
If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn’t have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn’t have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn’t have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her “Chief.” She’d know about her mom’s new family. She’d know about her dad’s fiancée. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn’t have wanted to kiss him back.
But Naomi picked heads.I just want to note that this is NOT a sad story. Dont be intimidated by the subject. Its awesome:)
Oh and if you like this book, the author Gabrielle Zevin she has a blog so you can check her out:
