Honest review based on an ARC provided by Edelweiss. Many thanks to the publisher for this opportunity.

This was the best YA thriller I've read in a long time.

About to move away again Amelia has always envied the life perfect Sophie led. When her car is down in the middle of a storm and a stranger doesn't seem to come with the best intentions, she runs only to be hit by no one other than Sophie herself. When Amelia wakes up, she is inside Sophie, her own body is in a dangerous coma, and the stranger is still out there without anyone to believe he even existed.

This book is a great thriller to keep you turning pages but it also approaches interesting themes like friendship and family ties that go beyond blood. It's hard not to recommend this even to those who aren't usually fond of YA's.

As if Amelia doesn't have enough problems, the more time passes, more of her memories are lost as she starts remembering, and this added to the anxiousness. It was really a gripping story, as you can see.

Unfortunately, the conclusion was quite predictable. To be honest, I was hoping for a more different answer. Still, it wasn't bad at all.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
