The Everafter by Amy Huntley
1.0
This author is a good writer, but the story had so many levels of concept and rules that just got in the way of what could have been some lovely character development.
The definition of "lost" items seemed pretty ridiculous at times--spilling peas on the floor? A penny that she saw but chose not to pick up? Not lost. If those count, then every hair that ever fell out of her head should, too.
I had other issues with the manipulating of the original scene to find the object--how were the changes only so slight? wouldn't finding certain things lead to totally different events? (and she seems to definitely find her keys, and gabe his, in the original 'key' memory, so what's that about?)
It's particularly frustrating because the writing itself is good.
