Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Savannah had a brain aneurysm and had an operation to fix it. Unfortunately she didn’t wake up from surgery, remaining in a coma for two months. Once she came out of it she, her mom, and her sisters moved to a new place for a fresh start.
One day on the beach Savannah spies a hot guy playing volleyball until his cockiness drives her to join the game. As she plays she gets this strong sense of déjà vu. She admits to her sisters that she has seen this day before. The girls are shocked because they reveal they each picked up on the moment. Each girl has gotten a psychic vision using a certain sense. Savannah’s is sight. The girls work together to see if the visions continue.
At first they are insignificant like someone taking out the trash. Then at school they foresee an explosion and fire. They have no idea when or where it will occur. When a local liquor store burst into flames, the girls are unsettled.
As they try to figure out their abilities, they keep things quiet. They are unsure how their mom will react. She is starting to move on after their father’s disappearance and they don’t want to make things any more stressful.
Savannah is also growing closer to volleyball guy and neighbor, Riley. They seem to share a lot in common and grow close pretty quickly. She sees hurt and anger in Riley from his father’s death.
When Savannah starts seeing ghosts on her own, things get complicated extremely fast, especially when one of them is Riley’s father. Savannah is torn about what to do. Then the girls get a vision about another fire. They are trying hard to figure out what to do.
However when their secret comes out the reactions they get are surprising. More secrets are revealed that are shocking and they are unsure of who can be trusted.
This was an interesting YA book. There was a lot of loss which was sad but it brings the characters together. It was also interesting to see how the characters dealt with their grief in different ways. There was anger, withdrawal, and obsession. I liked the wide range of emotions.
Then Savannah was a survivor herself. I liked how her character approached life after getting better. I loved her competitive nature and the relationships she has with her mom and sisters. Family is important and the message is clear. Great read. I give it a 4 out of 5.
