Customer Reviews

Not worth buying

This was very poorly written, going round and round and never getting anywhere. What a waste of time and money

Didn’t grab me

I thought I was going to love this book but it definitely didn’t “thrill”.

Page Turner

This was such a thrilling novel and keep me at the edge of my seat. Told backwards, it leaves you guessing the entire read. I thought I had it figured out but it got me good at the end. Highly recommend.

I did not like this book.

I have read other books by this author that I enjoyed and had high hopes. However, this book was confusing and boring. It was a waste of time.

I Loved It! What A Spin!

Everyone seems to not like this very much but I really liked it. I loved the story being told backwards. It added a different element to the story telling. It had me hooked the entire time!

Not my favorite of hers

I wouldn’t say this one is the best in my opinion but I would say it’s worth the read. I like Miranda’s stuff altogether.

Meh

Main character is whiney and weak. So much could have been solved/avoided had she been an adult about things. Took me a long time to read, wanted to stop multiple times but ended up finishing just to know the ending.

3.5/5

This book is a very easy read. I liked that the writing style wasn’t too complex. Told somewhat in reverse, it is initially interesting until the last third of the book where it becomes muddled. The characters themselves are not my favorite. Our protagonist is just vaguely relatable and just not that likable. That said overall it is easy to finish. It won’t be staying in my personal library though.

Mehh

There were times that I felt like giving up on this book but I wanted to find out the end. It was mehh. The characters were not very likable. I feel like I couldn’t connect with them. The main character was very selfish and whiny but still got everything she wanted. I thought it was an interesting concept going in reverse but if you didn’t read which day you were on it’s not really like it was in reverse you still learned the facts more and more as you read not like you had all the facts up front then you were fitting together the pieces. I wouldn’t not recommend it because it did have some good parts but I would not make this your first choice.

The Story is Told Backward

Very seldom that I can't finish a book, but this was one. VERY slow and as stated above, the story is told backwards. That sounds interesting but is just confusing. No idea how it ended (or began?) since I lost interest and decided it wasn't worth finishing.

Would I read it again? Probably not. Would I recommend it? Ehh probably not.

It's a quick read, but I had trouble getting through the book because I found it dull. Don't get me wrong, there are events that are action packed, but afterwards it slows down. The plot of the story was really interesting in itself, however I wasn't interested in the any of characters.

Read it in a few hours!

I just could not put this book down! It was such a good read! I found it unique that the story was told backwards and I really enjoyed it! I deffinatly recommend reading this book!

Suspenseful!

It seemed like it was trying a little too hard but it was a suspenseful read and I kept looking forward to picking the book back up and getting to the ending, which is what matters to me. I found myself thinking about the story a couple days later which is a good thing.

Absorbed this book in one sitting

Read it, then went back and re-read the days in order. It kept my attention both directions and I recommended it to distant friends and shared my copy with local friends. Great read!

Great read!

I love when books have a huge turn in events and you had no idea what was coming. This book was one of those and I highly recommend the read!
