Woke Up Like This: A Novel
by Amy Lea
I went into this one pretty blind as a buddy read with a group on IG and loved it.
I wasn’t sure about the YA aspect when I first started reading it but wanted to give it a try. I don’t typically read YA books because I can’t relate to many of the characters since they’re usually my daughter’s age. However, Char and JT are both pretty relatable, especially given their circumstances. I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to give anything away.
I loved the storyline. It made my 90’s heart happy. So many mentions that brought me right back to my younger years. The twist definitely caught my attention and made me want to keep flipping the pages to see what happened next. Definitely a book that can grab you! I imagine it’d be one that would help get you out of a slump, too.
The ending was beautiful. While I was reading it I wasn’t sure which “reality” I wanted them to have but I’m happy with the way it ended. I think all of my questions were answered and the timeline worked well.
Woke Up Like This would be a great books for teens to read to learn about many different experiences they could go through. From friendships to grief & loss it’s all in here.
I will definitely be checking out Amy’s other books. If you want something that’s cute, with LOL moments, and a happy ending check out Woke Up Like This!
