Commentary Concering Books In Some Other Life
Kennedy Rhodes turns down an acceptance to an elite private school, instead choosing to stay at her high school and jump at the opportunity to date the boy of her dreams.

3.5 starsPreviously, Ive only tried Jessica Brodys science fiction (Unremembered), and itdidnt do a lot for me. Despite that, Ive had a few of her contemporary novels on my list forever but never gotten around to them. In Some Other Life appealed to me for that most classic of reasons: the covers cute. So sue me (actually, dont, please). In Some Other Life is a fluffier readalike for Kasie Wests debut Pivot Point, and I liked it quite a bit.Kennedy Rhodes turned down an elite private high schoolWOW! A+ for a book I picked up randomly on a whim!Ive been reading a lot of multiverse theory books lately (Pivot Point, Maybe in Another Life, etc) and I am really enjoying this style of book. I loved Kennedy. She was so easy to read about, and I loved her drive to succeed. And her family! Oh my goodness, I loved her family! Frankie was just the cutest, and I liked Kennedys relationship with him. The dad was funny and I liked how supportive he was. Kennedy really grew as a character, which made
This book is the equivalent of a pop song. Enjoyable, fluffy, and totally a guilty pleasure. Did I get anything out of this?No. Was it cliche?Yes.Did I secretly enjoy it?Also yes.
Super fast and fun read. I was looking for a low angst YA and this fit the bill perfectly!
AS SEEN ON: A THOUSAND WORDS A MILLION BOOKS I received a review copy from Macmillan Intl in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. In A Nutshell: In Some Other Life is Freaky Friday meets a little physics in a high schoolers story of a choice that changed her life. As an added bonus, theres also a very swoony boy.Ive heard about the wonderfulness of Jessica Brodys books from various blogger friends, especially her Unremembered trilogy and so, when I saw
An entertaining The Road Not Taken meets It's a Wonderful Life high school mashup. Although the story is predictable, it does have a positive message about following your bliss and being true to your values.
It was an okay read. I didnt love it or hate it, it just wasnt that memorable. Also, the main character Kennedy was pretty annoying. She felt really immature, naive, and so self-centered so it was kind of hard to like her. She redeemed herself in the end so that was good. I just wish the story was as beautiful as the cover haha.
