Lisa Amowitz created a dizzying maze of twists and turns that Jeremy trudges through, and between the paranormal presence in his life and his injuries, it was nearly constant mountains for him to climb. There was definitely a creepy element that became more prominent as the story went on, too, and though I hated Jeremy's selfishness and irresponsibility, I definitely feared for his safety and sanity at some points. I'm entrusting my secrets to you, Jeremy.Īnd oh, the secrets he found! From Patrick Morgan, Ryan's vile and hateful father, down to even Jeremy himself, everyone seemed to be hiding something.

Was it really Susannah who was sending him messages and speaking to him from beyond the grave? He was determined to figure out what happened to the girl he loved, but the more he looked into her disappearance, the more secrets were uncovered that revealed nothing was as it seemed in their town. Thus began the breaking of Jeremy Glass, piece by piece, because he literally began to fall apart.

Until that day that his world was thrown into a tailspin, when he was struck by a passing car and handicapped as Susannah suddenly disappeared. Perfect' Ryan Morgan, secret admirer to Ryan's long-time girlfriend Susannah, and on the outside appeared like any normal young man. He was the best friend and faithful sidekick to 'Mr. Jeremy, having suffered through the pain of his mother's battle with her sanity only to lose her in a tragic car accident, turned to alcohol and his favorite pass time of running to get by. But I feel that what the reader does get, which is a dynamic, disturbing, and very well-written plot with a multitude of unexpected twists, is what carries this story and makes it engrossing by its own merit, well-deserving of a 4-star rating. The fairly vicious and self-important attitude that many of the main characters have is hard to get comfortable with, and I struggled with my feelings on each of them. If you're looking for a character-driven story with a hero that makes you wish more than anything that he could have his happy ending, look elsewhere. If I were to rate this book solely on whether or not I liked the characters in it, I'd give it around 2 stars. Reasonable Jeremy is happy in his role as human doormat and Enabler-in-Chief.
