Some Other Now by Sarah Everett
5.0
4.5 stars
TW: Death of a loved one, cancer, depression, family problems, very emotional scenes.
Wow. I have no idea where to start. I did not expect this book to be such an emotional rollercoaster! I feel utterly drained and have never cried so many times when reading one book. That being said, it was also an incredibly well written, smart and interesting read. I don't think I have ever read anything like it. It is so emotional, filled with sadness and heartache but also a lot of love.
The story revolves around 17 year old Jessi, her best friend Rowan Cohen and his brother Luke. Jessi is like a part of their family as her parents are very absent from her life due to depression and work. The Cohen brother's mum Mel is like a second mum to Jessi.
The story goes inbetween a "Then" and "Now" with a unknown event that has caused a lot of upset in-between. The mystery of what happened has you hooked from the word go. The author Sarah Everett did an incredible job in keeping you gripped and wanting more. I buddy read this book over three days but if I hadn't then I just know I wouldn't have been able to put it down.
There is so much I want to say but I don't want to ruin one single thing about this fantastic book. So what I will say is if the trigger warnings don't put you off then go pre-order it or add it to your TBR now! I promise this smart, emotional and intriguing book won't let you down.
Please note that I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
