In Some Other World, Maybe by Shari Goldhagen
3.0
3.5 stars
The book begins as the characters are teenagers, each of them are going to see a movie based on a series of graphic novels called Eons and Empires.
Adam: He wants out of the small town that he has grown up in but before he leaves he wants that one date with the guy he has had a crush on for years. He accepts her invitation to go see the movie.
Sharon: A painfully shy introvert sneaks out of school to go to the movie by herself. She has been reading the books in secret at her babysitting job.
Phoebe: Wants that first date with her friend Ollie. Her friends want to tag along and it ends up that her younger brother Chase sneaks his way into accompanying her on the ride.
These characters are complex, there are times you like them and times you really almost hate them. The author does a really great job on making them real. The reason for the 3.5 star? The book does lag at times and I wanted it to move on faster than it did.
The story was well done with each of the characters and supporting characters interweaving throughout each others lives.
I received an arc copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
