The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day by Christopher Edge
4.0
This was extremely bizarre but in such a good way.
Maisie wakes up on her 10th birthday to an empty house, and in fact, an empty universe! Outside of her house, there's nothing - just blackness. Then in the next chapter, Maisie wakes up on her 10th birthday, and everything seems fine, normal even. But it's the same day!
For some of this book, I was so unsure what to think of it. The first couple of chapters I wasn't feeling it too much, but then it got to chapter 3 and from that point on, I was super, super intrigued. This is a very short book (around 150 pages) but it packed quite a good story into it. I wasn't quite expecting what was happening and then when the penny dropped before something major did happen, it was a bit of a revelation. I did enjoy this little story about Maisie Day. It was touching and strange - a rather bizarre mix but it fits this kind of story well.
