Terrible. Uninteresting characters, boring location, trite plot. Avoid at all costs.
I didn't actually finish this book, or get beyond 15 pages. First, there was a VERY bad swear word and I thought to myself "If that swear word shows up again I'm setting this book down." The book didn't give me much of a chance because a few pages later the main character was doing something inappropriate with boys. This book shouldn't be in the YA section, I think it should be moved to the Adult section of the Library. The only reason I'm having this book be in my read bookshelf is to remind myself to never pick it up again.
Absolutely loved this book couldn’t put it down completed it in day

This book did take a while to get to the crux, (page 110! Lol), but I really did enjoy it overall. At times it seemed a bit disjointed, but I definitely did like it in the end.

I first read this book over a decade ago and had fond memories of it, the concept definitely stuck with me and inspired my imagination at the time. I picked it up to reread on a whim after seeing a copy in a charity shop and wasn't blown away, but it was still a compelling (if often unbelievable) story.

A little fey with a diary that writes what will happen tomorrow. Tamara is unbelievable. If she globe trotted so much,hadn't she seen her passport and worked out how old she was? Took a long time for her to get passed obnoxious and for the story to unfold.
I didn't find Tamara to be likable at all - either in her previous life where she was supposed to be or at the end after she was supposed to have transformed. And nitpicky though it may be, I didn't feel like she was a "Tamara" - a terrible naming choice. I've also read this same type of "who am I" mystery before in a much more mysterious fashion. Too bad - I liked her earlier books.
I went into this book a little warily as a couple of times before I've been put off by the supernatural aspect of Cecelia Ahern's books. However as it was the book was the only supernatural/slightly unbelieveable part I did manage to soldier on. Once I got past that fact I did really start to enjoy the book and could hardly put it down! I was a little disappointed by the ending however...it all got a bit...well ridiculous. It wasn't completely stupid, but for me, there hadn't really been any clues leading to what happened..what had been given as fact previously in the book was completely wrong in the end! It seemed a little as if the author had got a bit carried away and just kept throwing different ideas in and then left one page at the end to round up what happened after this mad explosion of ideas.
I won't read the book again, but it was fairly enjoyable for the majority of it and I might give some more of her books another go!
