I Am Not Thirteen

Amy is thrown back into age 13.  This is a captivating story of teen-aged angst, paranormal events, and relationships.

I loved it - I found it compelling . . . finished it in one day.  A few hours.

The feelings, the characters, all pulled me in, wishing there was more.

This is not my go-to genre (supernatural), but I sometimes dip into it. That may be why I didn't enjoy this a much as regular readers of this kind of tale, in addition to probably being too old for it (my fault). But it did make me pensive at times, and I enjoyed the writing style. The author has a good imagination and also created some good suspense along the way. Recommended for thriller fans.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!!

This  book was a wild ride! I enjoyed it a lot. The writing is strong and the story is compelling. I was hoping for an explanation of the supernatural mystery part, but even without it, I was satisfied with the ending. Very well done.

Amy is an adult and does not have an easy life. Her job is decent, an X she wishes she could forget (we all have one) and not too much hope for her future. But then she has a car crash and wakes up to being 13! Is this a dream or a new reality? Amy has to relive some of the most traumatic times in her life. What does she have to do to get back to her present?

This was not what I expected but still found it a compelling and gripping read. It had some elements of time travel similar to "The Time Travel's Wife" but also had paranormal and suspense elements. You cannot just call this time travel book, it is so much more than that. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this. I would definitely read more by this author. Loved the creepy cover, it was suiting for sure.

Recommended because it is freaky, suspenseful and haunting but not in the typical way.

Thanks to Netgalley, AO Monk and Books Go Social for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book starts with a very relatable but miserable life with the usual pains that come with adult life, she ends up in a car crash and somehow wakes up 13 again. She has to work her way through some of her biggest struggles, avoiding them, embracing them, ignoring them. I quite enjoyed this book.
