-THE RUN-DOWN-
2 months ago, Cam's girlfriend died in a car accident.
Cam is in grief at the loss of Viv (his girlfriend) and doesn't know how he can continue living without her.
Then one day, one the site of the accident, Cam see's an apparition of a girl named Nina. Cam has never seen Nina ever in his life but Nina insists that she knows him.
Cam is convinced that this is all a practical joke trying to make him look crazy. But when he discovers that Nina is from a parallel universe, one where Viv is still alive...
Cam will do whatever it takes to be with her.
But in the end, is it worth it?
-WHAT I LIKED-
PARALLEL UNIVERSES!!!
The idea of parallel universes makes me just so happy!!
That there are other worlds like ours but slightly different?
Come on! You have to admit that things like that are frexing interesting!
AND FINALLY! A book about it!!
Teen books about parallel universes are RARE!!!
I've probably only read one other!!
But anyway... parallel universes are awesome!
-WHAT I DIDN'T LIKED-
Sadly, parallel universes wasn't the MAJOR MAJOR point o the story.
It's a story about a guy trying to get to the girl he loves after her death.
The first thing that bugged me about this was that they're in high school and they're acting like they are "meant to be".
I just have to say this, how many high school relationships last a lifetime? NOT VERY MANY!
The second is Viv.
I never got to know the Viv of Cam's world (since she died) but the Viv that was still living was the psychotic jealous type.
Not the type of person i'm fond of.
I understand that Viv's personality played an important role but SERIOUSLY! I just couldn't tell what in the world Cam saw in her!
-IN CONCLUSION-
This was a quick read and it did have interesting moments.
My advice: If your a sci-fi fan, try reading a different book. This isn't a huge sci-fi book.
If you like romance though, this book is more for you.
