Publisher Description

If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn’t have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn’t have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn’t have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her “Chief.” She’d know about her mom’s new family. She’d know about her dad’s fiancée. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn’t have wanted to kiss him back.   But Naomi picked heads. After her remarkable debut, Gabrielle Zevin has crafted an imaginative second novel all about love and second chances.

"You always here people saying if I just did this, or if I could relive that, and I wish I could relive something, but Naomi gets a clean slate after flying down a flight of stairs in front of her high school. She lost the memory of the last four years of her life, to forget her move, her parents divorce, and everything in between. She has to put together her life by finding out who she was while figuring out who she is and who she wants to be, giving up what used to matter most like Ace, her boyfriend and her best friend WIll. She realizes how she wants to rebuild her life and gets to a comfortable state when her memory comes back and she has to choose which life she truly wants. If she wants to reconcile with her mother and meet her half sister, if she wants to accept her father getting remarried. I found this book interesting, making me think about how I would deal with a situation like this, or how it would feel to have to start over when everyone around you knows more about you then your self. I liked the book and it keep me intrigued through out the whole story. The only thing about the book that I didn't like was the first couple of pages, but after you get through those the plot line really picks up. I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a different and original plot within the "Chick-Lit" genre."

    " Not quite as amazing as her debut and chockful of those hard to avoid grown-up's writing YA fantasies of high school boys wearing fedoras and making amazing mixes for the girls they are devoted to - but there is something about Zevin and her writing that plucks a little chord inside. Maybe it's her slightly cranky blog or the fact that she doesn't post a picture or do FB. I am rather looking forward to the next. "

    " When Naomi falls down the steps and lose her memory her entire life changes. She isn't sure she likes the person she used to be and strives to become someone she wants to be.[return][return]This is a fabulous story that hooks you in immediately and doesn't let go until the end. Fascinating to think about the moment of your life, that if you could forget it, would change the way you think about yourself and the way you are. "

    " urgghhh! #frustration great book horrible ending. she falls in love with her best friend, falls, gets amnesia and a concussion, meets a bad boy who's depressed, falls in love with him, he checks himself into an institution, she thinks she cant live without him then FORGETS about him, remembers everything, falls back in love with her best friend and thats it. thats the end. what ever happened to James? what ever happened to tying up all the lose ends? what ever happened to actually completing a book. pathetic.

    " I really liked this story. I thought Naomi was pretty realistic, and I liked her character. I did think the ending was a little too perfect, but I enjoyed the story and the characters, nonetheless. Would recommend this one to my students- it was very well done. "

    " The beginning had it's hook. But then it all started going downhill and there was nothing to it really. I noticed that most women writer's books lack proper confrontations or even a climax sometimes. "

    " It a book that makes you question how much effect peer presure really has on us. By almost going bad in time with her memorie, she gets a sort of inacence (excuse my bad spelling). "

    " I didn't really like how it hinted that She was going to "repeat" history and end up just like her mother. Divorced and dating your highschool crush. But it had a story line and kept me interested and it was a little confusing but just enough to keep you tied down. So I liked it. "
