Ahmed Raza rajkhanbug — There is a shortage of fiction written with characters between the ages of 20 and 30. YA usually covers high school characters, but it is hard to find many books that deal with college or early adulthood issues. One reason I was excited to read The Fallback Plan is because the protagonist is a recent college graduate who has returned home to live with her parents while she figures out what to do with her life. Esther is clearly dealing with some depression issues, but thinking back to the years following my own college graduation, I could relate to many of the things she was experiencing. I remember the time period of trying to navigate life between being a college kid and a responsible adult. Like Esther, I am sure I made some less-than-stellar choices during that time. While I loved little May, I kind of wanted to shake most of the adult characters and tell them to grow up...with the exception of Esther's parents. I liked them quite a bit, and it was obvious they loved their daughter. But the high school friends? It was clear from the beginning that they were losers and I wanted to tell Esther to move on and never look back. (Pickle may have been an okay guy, but I could never get past that ridiculous name!) Amy has a good excuse for being a little crazy, but I wanted to scream at her that she is better than that. She is intelligent enough to know that she needed help, I thought. And Nate...well, I really liked him at first, then he turned out to be kind of creepy. I did feel a bit sorry for him though, trying to hold his family together basically on his own. The Fallback Plan is a quick read that deals with some heavy issues without being too morose or depressing. I would love to see more of this post-college genre! ***Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC.

Clement Sclippa _70f9b — taken from my blog: http://yumyabooks.wordpress.com/ rating: 3.5 stars My Summary: Mercy has lost herself. She can’t count how many times she’s ‘woken up’ in a new body, assumed a new life, only to move on to another body, again and again. In Paradise, Mercy meets Ryan whose still reeling from his sister went missing over two years ago, and now presumed dead. Everyone had given up hope looking for her long ago, but Ryan still believes that he can find her. And Mercy, using powers she didn’t even know she had, founds out he’s right. Ryan’s sister is still alive. And then, when another girl goes missing, Mercy and Ryan know they must act before their time runs out. But why is the strange man who haunts Mercy’s dreams cautioning her not to interfere? And why is it that with every step closer to discovering the truth about the missing girls, a host of angels out for Mercy’s blood because of a crime she committed, loom closer? And that crime Mercy supposedly committed, in fact, she can’t even remember doing? My thoughts: Mercy had me from the first page. Rebecca Lim’s way of getting across Mercy’s frustration and confusion is really well done. Those who feel like they don’t know themselves or they’re unsure of what their ‘purpose’ is in life can probably relate to Mercy, who feels the same way. The plot thickens really just in the first few chapters so it’s straight into the story. It’s a great angels/murder mystery combination. I don’t think I’ve ever read those two things incorporated so it was really interesting. Although, I did figure out the mystery about three quarters of the way in, and the whole time I was thinking ‘how can you not know?’ about Mercy, who seemed oblivious and didn’t work it out. A lot of people like the fact that Carmen – the girl Mercy inhabits in Ohio – isn’t very good looking and still a good looking guy falls for her. I think it’s different because usually the main character is absolutely gorgeous which is pretty unrealistic considering they’re supposed to be average people. It’s great to see Mercy change as a person. Before she was a cold hearted and actually quite a ruthless person because the changing bodies made her a little more detached But throughout the book she turns into a warm hearted passionate person that is very likable. She in fact believes that she is supposed to help each person she inhabits live a better life once she’s gone. Before Carmen, she’s been a drug addict with a baby, an ignored rich brat, and several other woman at many different ages, so she hasn’t always been a teenager in every lifetime which I think is good. The story features a lot of music as it is set at a singing camp and it’s rather mystical and enchanting. I like the idea that Mercy can’t remember what she did wrong to be exiled. Mercy is different to anything I’ve ever read. Rebecca Lim is an Australian author with an amazing imagination and I’ll be reading the others in the series as the book is so intriguing.
