Every once in a while, you are lucky enough to come across a story that manages to weave a nice tale while dealing with sensitive issues. If I Wake is one such stroke of luck. While the issues of bullying and teen suicide are not the primary focus of the storyline, Author Nikki Moyes works them into this time travel / parallel being tale that allows the reader to experience those everyday travesties of real life, and understand them in a way that they could never imagine. If I Wake takes theWhat a deep and meaningful book this is. It had so many components that I loved. There was meeting Will in different places and times all the way back to before what we consider civilization. It was wonderfully paced and kept me reading wanting to know more about this unique couple and their connection. If you are a history buff like me, you will love this too. It makes for an amazing tale.
This is an incredibly well-written, sensitive story about a subject that is still taboo for most of us - suicide.Lucy is a teenage girl who has always had a tough time at school from bullies, to the point where she feels like an outsider, practically invisible to everyone around her. But every year, on her birthday, she falls asleep and wakes to find herself in a different time period, ranging from prehistoric times to the future. The one constant is Will, who she saves every time from certain
I was lucky enough to win this book in a Goodreads giveaway and I loved it. It was not what I was expecting, it was better. I loved how immersed the character got when she awoke in her alternate realities, and I would have loved to have read more of these.

The book left me telling others about it, and I have already lent it to someone
I've had a couple of people express concern that this book will be similar to 'If I Stay'. It's actually very different from Gayle Forman's book. 'If I Wake' is similar in theme to 'Thirteen Reasons Why' by Jay Asher (without glorifying suicide), or for a better depiction of depression, "My Heart and Other Black Holes' by Jasmine Warga (without the unrealistic, love saving you from depression). 'If I Wake' also has a magical realism slant to the story, similar to 'Before I Fall' by Lauren Oliver
Hmmm ... where to start? There are two aspects to this book. One I was gripped by, the other unfortunately, couldnt hold my interest worth a flip.I went in totally blind and quickly realized I ventured into a genre I never read. I had entered the time travel realm and immediately felt out of my element. By the end of the first chapter I considered closing shop and moving on, which rarely happens.What made me persevere? The gist of this story revolves around a girl named Lucy. A girl who is
This is my first read of this Author Nikki Moyes and I was intrigued to read the story if I wake, from the reviews. It is described as a Young Adult novel (I can see why) but make no mistakes this is a powerful story to read as an Adult. It is unlike anything Ive ever read before and the Author does for me, the impossible, she weaves, fantasy, history, the main character leading different lives through time, all in one seamless story. You may think it sounds like a weird mash up but trust me its
