What's In Your Library Bag Wednesday?...

     It's Wednesday and I'm here to see What's In Your Library Bag today? I have been reading in the young adult genre again. I just finished  All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill. I guess you would classify this as a dystopian novel, however, it also incorporates time travel which adds a unique twist.
     Each chapter of this novel changes narrative between two of the main 3 characters and it also switches time. So, Marina is one of the main characters and Finn is another and the chapters alternate between what is happening presently to Marina or Em as she refers to herself in the present time and what is happening when she goes back in time 4 years earlier and she still calls herself Marina. Finn is Finn in both times. Since it is written from both of their perspectives and multiple times, you learn more about each of them and can piece more of the story together as it goes along. The third main character is both of their best friends, James. Not only is she his best friend, but Marina is also in love with him. A catalyst for the story is an unspeakable tragedy that actually happens to James and in many ways is the beginning and the end. The haunting questions become, can you kill the one you love most? and Does sacrificing one life to save many justify the means to that end?
     As a reader, you get so caught up in the story, it is hard to put down. By the end, there is closure, but still questions as we await the second installment.
     So, if you are in need of a change from your typical read, check out All Our Yesterdays, by Cristin Terrill and see what you would choose.
