Basic Premise: Kate Anderson goes to bed as a 17-year-old and wakes up 15 years later with a strange man in a strange city. In trying to recover from her drastic memory loss, she finds herself caught up in a love-triangle with the man who found her and the man from a past she doesn't remember. An internal conflict ensues, beginning a journey of self-discovery and reinvention, hence the title.
My Take: 7 out of 10
I read this book because our newly-formed teacher book club at school selected it. I don't normally read adult fiction (is that what I call it? That sounds...dirty) but I was surprised to find I really enjoyed this book. Part of it was the magic of my new Nook, but most of it was the originality of the story. I found myself really wanting to know what happened to Kate's last 15 years. There was a little more adult content than I am used to (I read young adult literature almost exclusively), but nothing excessive. My main complaint about the book is its slow start. After the initial description of her immediate circumstance when she wakes, the book drags its feet for almost 200 pages before picking up. But once it did, it was very good. If you have a Nook, let me know and I'll lend it to you!
