Inspired from the Love Story music video by Taylor Swift, Madow created this wonderful unique love story that will make you want to be young and fall in love all over again.

I really loved the characters in this novel. I completely connected with Lizzie. She wasn't the most popular girl at school, nor was she a complete loser. She was your average American girl with normal teenage problems and worries. She has great friends and a not so perfect long term boyfriend - we'll get to him in a second. More...

Remembrance is VERY avarage YA book about love and reincarnation. It's about Elizabeth, a very normal girl who lives a calm and peaceful life until the day she meets Drew. She falls for him almost instantly, but it's not that simple: She has a boyfriend, and Drew starts to date Chelsea, her best friend.

What can I say about this book? The writting is good, but the pace is too slow. Nothing ever happens. I put it away many times, and I just rushed to finish it because I wanted to be done with it.

Remembrance was a nice debut from a new author, I liked the plot and the main idea’s behind the book, I think the characters could have been improved (they were a bit one dimensional, not that believable), but other than that, a good book. I read it all in one sitting, so yeah it was interesting, it had just the right amount of twists and turns. I look forward to more books by this author.

To sum it up: Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England... But she doesn't know it yet.

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more More...

I love discovering new YA authors. And, when I got Remembrance from Michelle I was excited. This novel, I'm happy to say, lived up to my expectations. It is a story new to me, I've never read a novel with a theme like this, but it never disappointed. I mean, the story flew well, the characters were interesting, I liked how the author payed attention to the small details like names (you have to read the novel to see what I mean here ;)).


Let me find one passage for you. Ah, here it is.


But it was t More...

This isn't my usual genre but I decided to take a chance and give this one a read. The book was a very refreshing read and was written extremely well. The flow of the book kept me reading and reading. Excited to see more from this author in the future! I would definitely pick up more titles from this up and coming superstar in the YA genre :)

I told Michelle that I think I found her book by fate. I happened upon it on Goodreads and I'm glad I did! I want you to go read this book, so I'll try not to spoil anything.


If you were to take a dash of Romeo and Juliet, a handful of Pride and Prejudice, and pinch of a Disney fairytale you'd probably come up with Remembrance. No lie. AT least that's my opinion.


Lizzie, short for Elizabeth of course, is like a real person. Actually all of the characters were pretty real. They weren't perfect and More...

Remembrance is a story of love that transcends time. It is a story of a couple who belong together, no matter where or when their paths cross. A story that is presented in such a way, that I became entranced with the idea of reincarnated love.

I imagine this is pretty typical of what goes on in high school romances and that is why I liked it so much. Lizzie is dating Jeremy and she has a crush on Drew; and Drew is dating Chelsea, but he has a crush on Lizzie. Ha! On the surface, Lizzie is a dream More...

[From my blog]

Gaah! I love stories about past lives! It's even better when it's more realistic, and the guy doesn't turn out to be this immortal jerk who knows every goddamn thing.
Drew was very human and very sweet, even if he was a bit strange at times. I have to say, I was very impressed with this piece of work, mainly because the plot seemed predictable to me when I read the summary, but the beautiful cover and the hint of some serious drama coming up dragged me in.
I especially enjoyed how th More...

Amazing. That's the one word I would choose to describe this book if asked. Michelle Madow had her inspiration of this book from Taylor Swift's song Love Story, and she gave a whole other name to love. She created a scene before your eyes, a story you could've never described.
This book is about a young girl, Lizzie Davenport, who was once a young girl from the Regency Era, is now reborn again as a normal junior in New Hampshire. But she hasn't figured that out yet. Until...
Until Drew Carmichael More...

Honestly, I'm having the most difficult time trying not to gush about this book (because I could probably just type I loved it about a billion times instead of reviewing it properly). It's exactly the kind of book I love - a YA novel filled with romance, a swoon-worthy leading man and a hint of the impossible. And, as I suspected, I couldn't put it down!

Michelle's book is entirely based on the premise of reincarnation and the possibility of two lovers meeting an More...

****FINAL RATING: 4.40 STARS****

CATCHALL
Ordinarily, this book would probably sit on my review less shelf for longer than a day before receiving a review. I am drastically behind on my reviews, so um…yeah. I'll get to them eventually. The main reason I'm writing my review now is Project Tell Taylor. Even though Taylor Swift isn't exactly my favorite singer, I like doing giveaways and helping others. I was also, through this, offered the chance to read and review Remembrance. But wow! I thought R More...

A solid debut from an author that has a lot of promise. Michelle's writing style is light and well-done, but a few signature author pitfalls keep Remembrance from achieving it's full potential."

I was extremely reluctant to start reading Remembrance. I knew the author was one of the nicest people I'd ever met, and when I got her book in my hands, I read the first chapter and...lost interest. Putting the book down, I noticed how Michelle seemed to try a little too hard to prove that she knew how t More...

Overall, the story isn’t horrible, but that’s the extent of the good in it.

I had a lot of issues with this book. Most of the issues originated from the similarities between Remembrance, Twilight and Pride & Prejudice. The similarities between Remembrance and Twilight ended by the 50% mark, but the similarities between Remembrance and Pride & Prejudice were prevalent throughout the whole story. It also didn’t help that the author kept bringing up the story and had Lizzy make comparisons More...

2.5 Stars (rounded up to 3)

I thought Michelle Madow's spin on fated lovers and reincarnated lives was an interesting one when meshed together with the influence of Taylor Swift's "love story".

I'm a sucker for all things Swifty- I'm a HUGE T Swift fan and I was tremendously excited and curious when I heard about this book.

And parts of the story really did intrigue me; I was completely enthralled with the past lives of Liz and Drew. I looked forward to every little hint towards what their lives ha More...

Firstly I want to say a massive thank you to the author Michelle Madow, who contacted me offering a review copy of Remembrance. If it wasn't for that email, I would probably have never came across this amazing book!

Remembrance follows the story of high school girl Lizzie, just as the summer has come to and end and it's time to head back to school for a new term.
As the story unfolds the reader meets Lizzie's boyfriend Jeremy who has recently been made co-captain on the school football team, and s More...

Aww Remembrance was so good. I really liked the idea of the story. Lizzie thought she was happy and had everything she wanted. Then the new guy, Drew *swoon*, shows up and changes her world. Memories of the past come back and awaken a long lost love. But will history repeat itself? I guess you just have to read it and find out.

I loved the Pride and Prejudice references. Can never have too much Mr. Darcy in the world.

Well done Michelle Madow!

Do you know how many times this book uses the words "Pride and Prejudice"? If you're a normal person who read this book and kind of enjoyed it, I guess you'll say: "Quite a few times!". But actually, quite a few times is incorrect. Quite a few times is five, six times top. This book names Pride and Prejudice a whole freaking lot, actually, it names Pride and Prejudice seventeen times. Seventeen times in 157 pages of my mobi copy. Putting it all together that's about 0.2 times per page. Do you ha More...

3.5 stars

First of all, I absolutely love the title and the cover of the book. It really suits the book and it's just nice to look at. I know they say not to judge a book by its cover and I don't. While I never decide not to read a book based on its cover, I definitely appreciate creating a cover that is beautiful to look at.

I also applaud the author for creating such a riveting story from a simple music video. Granted, Taylor Swift's music videos are never truly simple and they always have a sto More...

The first thing that I noticed on Remembrance was the stunning and gorgeous cover. And then I found out that the story was inspired by Taylor Swift hit song “Love Story” (which I really love) that made my interest leveled up! I was also intrigued by the plot because I personally love stories with 'reincarnation' themes. So I asked for a review copy from the author, Michelle Madow, and she happily provided one for me. Thanks, Michelle!

Remembrance is an astonis More...

So excited for this one!!

I am deeply sorry to give a bad rating to this book that most of my friends loved (also because the author seems really nice), but at this point I am really looking for something new to read, not necessarily to blow my mind but still to keep me interested and if possible in love with the story. Otherwise I'd read one of my favorite books again and get over with it.

So, maybe a while back (quite some years back, to be honest) I would have found this book more compelling. See, this the problem whe More...

Remembrance is set in New Hampshire and revolves around Lizzie discovering she has had a past life, which included the mysterious new boy at school, Drew.

The book caught my attention from the moment I saw the cover. It is beautiful and it brings an air of mystery since the model is wearing a mask. Once I started reading, I was glad to see that the mask is part of the story and that it led her to some places she needed to go. The theme of the book also More...

Being a huge Taylor Swift fan, I jumped at the chance to read a story that was inspired by her music video. I mean, how cool is that?! The plot sounded interesting, the cover was beautiful, and I'd just heard too many things about this book! That's a major MUST for me! I'm glad to say that it was definitely enjoyable, but unfortunately, there were those problems that definitely brought this book down a notch.

To start off with the enjoyable things, the book was really addicting, like really addic More...

First of all, I am basically in love with this cover! I think that it portrays the entire book so beautifully. It basically is the costume from the Halloween Masquerade at Lizzie's school, and that's the first time she has a flashback from the Regency Era with Drew. (We were both young, when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts. I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air. From Taylor Swift's Love Story) Hey! I just had a really good idea for my blog! I think whenever I More...

Do you believe in past lives and reincarnation? Remembrance will definitely show you all about it!

Remembrance is a beautiful story told in Lizzie's POV. She was just a regular student with a boyfriend until she met Drew Carmichael and was immediately drawn to him. Then her best friend Chelsea started dating Drew and Lizzie started having conflicted emotions over it. Drew seemed to have the answers to Lizzie questions, like how he had known that she would get better in French, but he started avo More...

I picked up Remembrance because of the idea behind it - reincarnation, it's something that's always interested me. And of course after I heard that Madow got the idea from Taylor Swift's song Love Story which I also adore I knew I had to read it.

I flew through the first half of the book, mainly because I was really wrapped up in all the drama between the characters, I was eager to find out what was going to happen. Yet at the same time I didn't really connect with any of the main characters on a More...

5/5 Stars

WOW this book had me from the first page to the very end leaving me wanting book 2 Vengeance





In the Transcend Time Saga. Michelle creates a story and world that will leave you believing that when Lizzy remembers the Regency Era that you are living it with her. I must say that I loved Lizzy from the beginning and not so much Jeremy (Jere) I think he could use some anger management classes, and well Drew at the beginning he had my curiosity piqued with the mystery and the spark that Lizzy More...

Remembrance, a breathtaking tale of second chances, is a YA paranormalish romance written by Michelle Madow.

The Story- Lizzie Davenport has a typical high school life including a best friend, boyfriend and a struggle with grades. As her Junior year starts, Lizzie is taken by surprise at the arrival of handsome Drew Carmichael, a boy she’s never met, yet feels eerily attached too.

In fact, he seems to know things about her that nobody else does. Whenever he looks at her she melts, which is making More...
