I think this was probably my least favorite book. I enjoyed parts of it, like them being in a new location with new people, but it really bothered me that Charley forgot about Beep. As a mother, I get why she'd want too, but I don't think I could ever actually choose that. And then making her dad pass through her in order to get her to remember was just depressing. 3 out 5 stars.

Very different book from the rest but definitely a much need break from the what was becoming monotony of the series.

I love this series but totally disliked this book. Totally not in character with the other books of the series. Don't rate this series based on this book. I really wanted to give it a 2.2 stars

I do confess, it was soooo annoying reading this book. I really hope it did not reflect on how I liked it. See, the formatting sucked. I hate uneven edges, I hate when you turn the page and there is one word there, and then one on the next.
Sigh.

Ok, Charley has amnesia after a meltdown. Angels want her to leave this life. Her friends want her back. She works in a diner. All her friends are in town and trying to subtly nestle themselves into her new life without telling her YOU ARE CHARLEY!

The kid thing is still, omg, no, I could never do that.

Reyes, well i did like that she met him for the first time again and thought he was hot, mmmmmmm *melts into Reyes puddle*

I did like that she had her snark. That she solved 2 mysteries. It was old Charley you know. But what I did not like was that time stood still, nothing could happen to move the actual plot forward.

Reyes! Oh I forgot myself. I meant to say good book.

The whole amnesia thing gave this plot a bit of life which I think it needed. After eight books the world of Charley needed a refresher. The mini sub-plots were interesting and I am looking forward to the next installments.

I LOVE all of these characters. However, I struggled reading this book up until the last couple of chapters that were absolutely amazing and emotional. I felt like this was more of a filler book rather than something that contributed to the overall story and after eight books, that's what I was looking for.

It was interesting to see how Charley would act if her life was completely wiped away. I just wish it wasn't for 98% of this book.

"But I was most definitely a time traveler. I even knew the lingo. Quantum mechanics. Hyperspace. Flux capacitor. Hell. Yes."

Okay, so I'm not a giant fan of storylines like this (I mean, who is?), but it served a purpose. This one was kind of like taking a little break from reality and even though it seems as if we've taken a step backward in the storyline, I promise that by the end we will have leapt forward. I'm sure that makes no sense. No matter-it stays.

There are revelations in this book that rock the foundation of the story. I didn't know there could be more bombs! Charley's family/friends continue to be the best part of the story and the way it's building, I have no idea how it will end. So, cool!

This one has all the feels. I love this series and am starting to panic knowing it will eventually end. The audio narrator, Lorelei King, is excellent. She brings the stories to life.
