Ricochet by Kathryn Berla
3.0
Ricochet is the story of one girl, Tatiana, living four separate lives in four universes.
The story is told in alternating points of view between Tati, Ana, Tanya and Tatiana. And even though each chapter is clearly labeled, a lot of secondary characters cross over into each of the girls' lives and I found occasionally I had a hard time keeping who was who and what role they played for that particular girl.
It actually made it interesting, because in one universe, Tati is in a relationship, in another she isn't. And she lives with various adults depending on which alternate universe she was in. The only true thing that carries over across all four girls are the seizures they all experience.
What ends up happening, however, is all the Tatiana's realize the others exist, and they can even travel to see each other. Which is pretty weird to be able to see different versions of yourself and actually interact with each other. Like twins but not? Probably not even close to twins lol.
It sort of lends itself to making me wonder if there are alternative universes out there with various versions of me. Probably not, but it is one of those things that crossed my mind while reading this.
I don't really want to give too much away, but there is a reason the Tatiana's exist and know of each other, which clearly isn't a normal thing to be able to do. And they realize they have to figure out how to save themselves.
The science aspect behind what's going on was fairly vague and the big bad guy in the story really isn't around all too much in the book. And he wasn't even really that scary it was more the idea of him that I suppose is supposed to be the scary part.
Overall, I found this to be an interesting book and it definitely kept me engaged and interested in knowing what was going to happen. If you like sci-fi reads, I say check this one out!
