Actual rating is 3.5 stars -- This is a PRE-REVIEW. My full review will likely be posted on here closer to Tandem's release date (maybe a few months--one, two, three at the very most), but for now, here is a brief run-through on how I felt about Tandem.
Tandem is a palindrome of sorts--it starts off fantastically, then it soon gets into 'really good' territory, then it gradually recedes into 'average' territory, then it goes back up into 'really good' territory, and ultimately ends fantastically....more

First of all, I just want to say that I am astounded at how many times Sasha cries. Her sobbing/tearing up/flat out weeping/crying does absolutely nothing for the story, I never felt for her in the moment (frankly, all I gave her was an eye roll after I realized that this crying was becoming a thing for her) and 90% of her crying/ tearing up happens in reaction to something not worth sobbing over.
Second of all, the taglines for the book on the back cover "Everything repeats. You. Your best frie...more
I'm really excited for everybody to get to read this! It comes out on October 8, 2013, which is not that far away at all. It's pretty different from what I've written in the past, but I think that anyone who's read and loved my other books will see the parallels (GEDDIT? PARALLELS? Because it's a book about parallel universes?! You get it) with ALL UNQUIET THINGS and THE OPPOSITE OF HALLELUJAH in terms of themes and language, even if the stories are very different. Blah blah blah--I hope you lik...more

I really liked this; it was different from most of what I've read though I read a review of something that sounded very similar today. Sasha, sixteen, lives with her elderly grandfather a physicist in Chicago. She is soon to graduate and has been asked to go to the prom by a boy named Grant. This has come as a total surprise. After a dreamy night at the dance though, Sasha finds herself on another planet, Aurora, where she is needed to fill in for the missing princess Juliana, who looks almost e...more
Okay, I'm REALLY intrigued about this one.
It actually sort of reminds me of The Broken Thread which is awesome, because I loved that one and they still sound very different. Just the whole, alternate universe/need to save someone so i can go home bit. And I mean that in a really good way, because it's a cool idea!

holy shit.
omfg.
That book cover just gave me a... brain orgasm.
Isn't he (above) from one direction? I just want to dip him in my coffee and have him for breakfast. Jesus.

I can't believe I read this so fast (448 pages!), but that's what you get with solid writing and a great plot. I really liked all the science weaved into the plot and Jarzab (as usual) creates a fantastic leading lady that is both realistic and out of this world (get it? because she's in Aurora...) I will say that I'm pissed I have to wait for book 2! I want to see what happens next with Thomas and Callum and the grandfather! God I'm going to cry with the grandfather aren't I? I am.

YOU GUYS. READ THIS BOOK. I know that sometimes you see a gorgeous cover and think "will this really live up?" In this case: YES. Tandem is a fresh, interesting take on parallel universes that I think will appeal to both sci-fi lovers and people who may not think the genre is for them. It's hard to even categorize this book in a genre as there is plenty of romance (Thomas! Swoon!), mystery, and action with bits of sci-fi weaved throughout. Anna Jarzab will completely bring you into this world (b...more
If I could give more than five stars I totally would! With great write, exciting and unpredictable twists and a host of intriguing characters, I loved all 400+ pages. I can't wait for book 2: Tether summer 2014!

I love books with alternate worlds and complicated plots like that. I'm actually looking forward to this one, I hope it doesn't disappoint!
