Anything but Ordinary

De: Lara Avery

Narrado por: Caitlin Davies

Bryce remembers it like it was yesterday: the scent of chlorine, the blinding crack and flash of pain, blood in the water.

When she wakes up in the hospital, all Bryce can think of is her disastrous Olympic diving trial. But everything is different now. Bryce still feels 17, so how can her little sister be 17 too? Life went on without her while she lay in a coma for five years: Her best friend and boyfriend have just graduated from college. Her parents barely speak. And everything she once dreamed of doing - winning a gold medal, traveling the world, falling in love - seems beyond her reach.

But Bryce has changed too, in seemingly impossible ways. She knows things she shouldn't - things that happened while she was asleep, things that haven't even happened yet. During one luminous summer, as she comes to understand that her dreams have changed forever, Bryce learns to see life for what it truly is: extraordinary.

Good, but confusing.

I've read a lot of books. I've loved a lot of books. I've read a lot of sad books. I've loved a lot of sad books. I don't know if I've ever felt betrayed by one before today. This book started off with such a strong premise, and yet at the end, I feel it betrayed that premise. But that's just my immediate emotional reaction. It leaves so many threads open at the end, and just . . . I don't know how I feel about this one. It's still worth a read, for sure! But it's not what I expected going in.
