The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day by Christopher Edge
4.0
Some people say everything began with a Big Bang, but for me, that's the last thing I really remember.
I'm not really sure how I feel about this book, truth be told. Endings like that always conflict me, and at the beginning, I wasn't feeling it too much. But this story is so different from anything I've personally read before - and it did keep me guessing as to what had happened.
Maisie wakes up on her 10th birthday to find her house empty, and a gaping black void outside - but also Maisie wakes up on her 10th birthday and everything is like it always was. The two contrasting days play out side by side, often interwoven, as the book marches on to provide you with the answers.
There are bits I liked, and bits I really didn't. But overall, it was a story I wanted to know the ending to and grew on me more and more as I read on.
