In Some Other Life
by Jessica Brody
Kennedy "The Closer" Rhodes made a decision just over three years ago
that put her on course to resurrect the school newspaper, become
editor-in-chief, win prestigious awards, and set her course to Columbia
University to major in Journalism.
That decision was essentially choosing a guy over the most coveted spot in Windsor Academy, a prep school that has an 89% acceptance rate to Ivy League schools. For the last three years, she's never regretted her decision. She's got a fantastic best friend, a great boyfriend, and an amazing high school journalism career.
Until she catches her best friend and her boyfriend making out.
Now she wonders about her decision. She wonders if things would be better if she'd chosen the school instead.
Then she falls... literally.
When she wakes, she's now Kennedy "The Crusher" Rhodes, who crushes at everything she does. She's top of her class at Windsor Academy. She never worked the school paper. She never dated that guy. She never lost her best friend.
Everything is similar, but different. Now Kennedy has the chance to redeem her choice from three years before and be the girl she's always wondered if she could be. But it looks like The Crusher has a lot more secrets and a lot to hide.
Final thoughts: Cotton candy "Sliding Doors" type of book. Flowed pretty well, but VERY predictable. That predictability doesn't make it an impossible read, but it can get frustrating when the lead can't see what is so obvious to the reader.
