Rarely do I find myself gasping after reading a line in a book. But with Unremembered by Jessica Brody, gasping was a regular occurrence.
I don't think I ever even understood what a plot twist was until I read this book. Most books are just a little bit predictable, to the point where even if something unexpected occurs, it's not shocking.
This plot twist was shocking. Like, gasping worthy.
So, what the heck is a plot twist?
I think it's when an author leads you in one direction, and then suddenly takes a 180 degree turn and all the sudden you're facing a completely different direction and you are shocked.
In this book, Brody had me facing straight ahead. I just knew what was going to happen.
But then, out of no where, one line changed everything.
I don't want to spoil the book, but I'll share this one line and explain how this line turned me 180 degrees.
"They are exactly the same. They are both written by my hand."
You probably just read that and you were like, "Yeah, great." BUT YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS.
(Spoiler Alert)
Quick Summary: Violet finds herself floating in the ocean, being the only survivor of a plane crash. She doesn't remember a thing from her past. She is placed with foster parents until her family claims her and her memory returns. But she keeps seeing this guy everywhere, and she feels like she knows him. Then she finds a note in the pocket of her clothes she was wearing on the plane. It says, "Trust him." She then writes out the words, "Trust him." in her own handwriting and...IT'S THE SAME HANDWRITING.
It probably doesn't sound that astonishing, but it was so astonishing. I had a mini heart attack.
Read this book. I want you to have a mini heart attack too.
