Featured Book Review: WIDE AWAKE

( 150+ Reviews )
Many would jump at the opportunity to wipe the slate clean and live their lives all over again. How refreshing it would be to be given a second chance to become a new and better person. But what happens when you lose all memory of your former life and you wake up a completely different individual? This is exactly what happens to Emma, the main character, when she is struck by a car and falls into a coma. When she awakens after several weeks, she does not recognize anyone – her parents, her boyfriend Andy, all of her friends, the cheer leading squad she was on or any of her teachers. And not only that, she seems to have taken on a new – and better personality.
Despite the positive changes within her, the people she knows and loves find it difficult to accept this new and improved Emma. That is, everyone but Mason, her assistant therapist in the hospital and her new love interest. This story tells of her struggles with her parents to understand a “new” daughter, the difficulties of finding herself in the strange and totally different world she finds herself in, and the changes in her perceptions of life itself. Secrets are imbedded within the minds of some of those she has been involved with and all is laid bare by the end of this enchanting and never dull story of a girl who re-creates herself and changes the lives of those around her. The author, Shelly Crane, strikes just the right chord by telling this account in first person.
We have access to the innermost thoughts of the main character and this guides us on her journey in finding and accepting the transformed person she has become. While her new boyfriend, Mason, seems almost too caring and definitely too good to be true, most of us can think of people in our lives who spend their entire existence just taking care of others out of the kindness of their hearts. By the end of this book, we realize that this is more than a love story.
It is a tale of a girl on the path to redemption and also a mystery of how all of these events culminated. The ending is a surprise and explains many of the earlier occurrences, thoughts, statements and actions in the story. Everything comes together in the last portion of this book and we can all assume that Emma and Mason lived happily ever after. This is an enlightening tale that readers will love – refreshing and entertaining as it reinstates the powers of love and transformation. – GoodbooksToday.com Reviews
