 IN THE TIME WE LOST - CARRIE HOPE FLETCHER

Time lost reading, is time well spent...

First book review of the year, I've got to make this good, otherwise you won't continue reading for the rest of the year...

Carrie's books are interesting. Even if the subject matter isn't specifically about magic, she always incorporates it in there somehow. Sometimes just the way she describes a scene is magical. 

It's very funny how the main character Luna is like the author in so many ways, yet so different at the same time. For example, Carrie would never talk about musicals in such a way as: "People randomly burst into song and dance! Isn't that a tad...unrealistic?" As a big fan of Carrie's, it's interesting to see the little similarities and "Easter eggs" that she puts in there.

Without giving much of a spoiler, this book is kind of "Groundhog Day" themed. But it's written in such a clever way, that you don't realise what's going on, until the characters realise what's going on.

I finished this book at 2am and what can I say, I was feeling ALL of the emotions. The end was very bittersweet.

Carrie writes in a way that makes you never want to put the book down. I have had this with all of her books but even more so with this one. The way she sets a scene, puts mini cliffhangers or has little between-chapters that intrigue you and make you want to read on. That's the real magic of reading...

Happy reading!
