The plot is a slow-burn until page 160 and there are some unbelievable details. I struggled with the first-person writing style, and the characters felt really flat for me.It’s a fast read with an interesting premise.The rest of the story is about the five friends living the same day over-and-over, struggling to come to grips with what is happening and how they can change it. “The ongoing experience of Recurring goes against the very heart of being human, and it is – I will tell you this without flinching – unbearable.” The stranger, who calls himself “The Keeper”, explains there’s only one way out of the loop, a unanimous vote for just one of the five to live. Shaken, they are leery of the strange who shows up at the door saying the five of them are “nearly dead”, and are in a closed-circuit called Neverworld Wake. › The five friends attend a concert and while driving to Whitley’s house they have a near-death experience.
The police said it was a suicide, but Victoria doesn’t believe them and she’s convinced one of her friends knows something. At the last minute, Victoria shows up wanting to finally figure out how Jim really died. › Victoria’s friends invited her to join them at Whitley’s parent’s estate for a reunion. Victoria (her friends call her Bee or Bumble) and Jim had a close-knit group of friends at Darrow Harker School, but she stopped hanging around with them after his death. She’s currently helping her parents with their restaurant on Rhode Island, trying to get her life back on track.
› Victoria’s boyfriend, Jim, died while attending a private school. However, I CAN share what I thought of it! About The Book 📚
