Ugh, that was hard to explain, but believe me, it was amazingly played and described and one of my favorite aspects of this book! But, Kasie West did an outstanding and extraordinary job in managing to keep me hooked and connected to both of Addie’s path! Each chapter, we are shifting from one path to the other while the other people surrounding Addie experience the same things, so it’s easy to stay with the time line and the story. Seeing as this is a horrible choice, she’s looking to see which decision works better for her… 2 Paths – Played out besides each other…Īt first, I was scared that those two realities would be too confusing for me to follow. When her parents are getting a divorce she’s asked to either stay with her mom in the compound or go and live with her dad in the real world. Addie can see her choices playing out in her head and for her it feels like she actually lived and experienced those choices when it’s only minutes in the “real world”. Oh … and I wasn’t disappointed!Īddie – gifted to see her choices playing out in her head.Īddie lives along with other gifted people in a compound, hidden from the normal people. Added with a little romance, this sounded perfect. Well, this sounds awesome, doesn’t it? it reminded me a little bit of Harry Potter, being there is a whole “world” of magically gifted people living alongside the “normal” ones. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she’s willing to live through. When Addie’s father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she’s unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school-but she never wanted to be a quarterback’s girlfriend.

In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. One Search six weeks into the future proves it’s not. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. When Addie’s parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with-her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the “Norms,” or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. It’s the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Īddison Coleman’s life is one big “What if?” As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. Knowing the outcome doesn’t always make a choice easier.
