"Come and find me two years ago ..."

Six words that have thrown the hockey playing tomboy Arizona in an alternate dimension.

Suddenly, she lives the life of an idolized cheerleader. She is from the happy life with her father pulled and pushed into a new, unknown life with her mother hated.

All they know as Arizona Darley, but she is not. She is Arizona Stevens.

While she tries to find answers for them are fixed only two things: that her mother Olivia is responsible for everything somehow - and that she needs to reclaim her old life.

Until she meets Kellan ...

Your Review:

I read the book as an ebook on my Reader. If I had seen the book in the store, it would probably have ended up in my shopping basket, because I think the cover and the synopsis very appealing.

So exciting the blurb reads, as well as I found the book, which I devoured in one day. Like quite a few others have noted, the whole story seems a bit confused at first - but I'm actually used to from time-travel novels. As the story becomes clear much more work is also open and clear. Presumably, one learns about these issues more in the future. 

I can understand Arizona's turmoil well, on the one hand it is the wild Arizona Stevens, on the other hand, the love Arizona Darley.Arizona does not know what happened to her, because in a moment it grew into her father's car, and the next moment she wakes up with a totally different life history on the car of their hated mother.Suddenly she is not a tomboy but a more popular cheerleader - a cliché, which she wanted to meet himself never a living Barbie. And what's worse, she has alleged. Another father and has good mother, little sister and the additional half-brother (who is surprisingly older than she) from 

Arizona tries to figure out how this fall could come in another life condition. It receives support from her best friend from the other life - which, surprisingly, is also reminiscent of their other existence. 

It soon becomes clear that this is a big secret project was started because her mother has found her true love. The impact of Arizona are fatal, because she feels a stranger in this new world for them - unfortunately, the action does not appear to work perfectly, as Arizona Darley should be remembered in any case in Arizona Stevens. How could that happen? How will decide Arizona? Will she return to her life as Arizona Stevens or stay with her "new family"?In both cases, it has a lot to lose. 

I would prefer more direct, because I would absolutely know how it goes with Arizona, her family and friends.   

If you time travel narratives, stories Do you like to parallel universes, I can recommend portal. From me receives the book full marks, because I love it when a book captivates me so much that I want to read it right in one go. This was the case for portal I gladly sacrificed a day off and I crawled into the apartment on the couch.

A big thank you for the provided ebook to Imogen Rose and Alli Potter! It was great fun to participate in the blog tour.
