- So, Khanh, what did you think of this book?
- I'll tell you what I think, after I brush my hair. Did you guys know the average human loses anywhere from 50 to 100 hairs a day?
- No, I didn't know that, but it's irrelevant. I'm asking you now, what did you think of this book?
- Well, there are many important facts to take into consideration when I rate a book. For example, I have to look at the characters. I have to think about the plot, and the setting. For example, if it's a dy---

I know I'm in the minority here but I think all the 5 stars gave me too-high expectations for this one. It is very close to a 4 star read so I'm far from hating it but, I expected more - or at least different.
I can understand why so many love it though. Suddenly waking up with no memory of the last 6 months is a very terrifying premise. One that had me completely stupefied, and thus absolutely engrossed. Chloe's narrative is written with all the disorientation, annoyance, and anxiety of someone ...more

Six Months Later was quite an amazing read! Natalie D. Richards has created a wonderful plot, well developed characters, and a story that will leave you breathless. I cannot recommend Sic Months Later highly enough to fans of mysteries, thrillers, and contemporaries.
I think the beginning is set up amazingly. The first chapter sucked me in, and then once I got to the second chapter... well let's just say I was a goner. There is a reason I read this book in one sitting. I bet most you will read i ...more

This book has been on my TBR for over a year now, and I finally decided to give it a read, and that was pretty disappointing. This book has so many cliches and lacks realism. It started off interesting enough - our main character Chloe waking up randomly missing the last six months of her life. It started off intense and promising, but I quickly lost interest as it turned into a cheesy high school drama. Instead of doing everything she possibly can to figure out what the fuck happened to her (as

Okay, so truth in advertising: Yes, I blog with this author. Yes, we're friends. I'm sure some people will think that's going to make me crazy biased, but I don't review books on GR unless I LOVED them and this one? I loved it. Truly.
Okay. So disclaimer aside, let's get to the good stuff. I won't bother with a synopsis because y'all know I can't summarize for crap so I'll stick to what I liked.

Before you decide to read Six Months Later, you should ask yourself this question: Are you OK reading a mystery that is not mysterious whatsoever? I'm not particularly adept at guessing endings, but in this case, I figured out the big secret very early on. As I continued reading , it became increasingly evident that I was correct. I was still prepared to enjoy myself, but everything here fell apart as the ending neared, and the story gr ...more

Chloe fell asleep in May and woke in November missing six months of her life. As she tries to get her bearings, she learns that she has gone from slacker to super student, from admiring the boy of her dreams from afar to being his girlfriend, and from having a best friend to not being on speaking terms.
It was wild and twisty ride I took with Chloe as she got to the bottom of what happened to her life. Not only did her bouts of paranoia make me tense, but she also got caught up ...more

Great Read, Got a Chance to read the ARC, The Beginning is just creepy, I can't imagine falling asleep in class, and waking up 6 months later with all new friends and a whole new life.
The Plot keeps you riveted, and just when you think you have figured it out, Richards throws you a new curve.
The writing style is very witty, and the Dialog is so natural, I was not just reading the conversations I was hearing them.

I recently read 6 Months Later by Natalie Richards I really liked when Chloe started to realize that she was falling in love with Adam because I have the same love for my dog and it was just a beautiful moment. It was a great book, very suspenseful and the ending was just shocking. It was also very interesting to watch Chloe piece together the whole mystery.

I love a good mystery and I also happen to love the YA genre but sadly there just aren't enough mysteries in this genre for whatever reason. For I don't know how long I have been saying that I wish more writers would branch out of the paranormal and into the mystery, because really, the stretch isn't too bad and thankfully someone out there is listening because this year I have noticed a few YA mysteries popping up more and more and I couldn't be more excited about it.

Chloe didn't think about it much when she nodded off in study hall on that sleepy summer day. But when she wakes up, snow is on the ground and she can't remember the last six months of her life. Before, she'd been a mediocre student. Now, she's on track for valedictorian and being recruited by Ivy League schools. Before, she never had a chance with super jock Blake. Now he's her boyfriend. Before, she and Maggie were inseparable. Now her best friend won't speak to her.

WOW!!! I was hooked after the first chapter. I could not put this book down! Literally read the entire thing in one day!

This book gets 4 stars because it is so perfect for High School students. The language, tone, and emphasis are just right for this age, and the subject matter is interesting if not entirely original. It begins as a mystery but includes sub themes of family, friends, and the demands to excel academically in the increasingly competitive atmosphere of college entrance exams.

First of all I would say this is an absofreakinglutely recommended book!
This is a story about Chloe who was once an average student, the not so popular-invisible one, the kind of student who can only read 2 lines of the text book then will feel sleepy.
She just slept in the study hall and when she woke up everything changed in her life.
She didn't know 6 months had passed already and she's very popular in her school, dating Mr. Perfect Blake and to think this guys is her long time crush. She also ...more

Read an early copy of Six Months Later and loved it! It creeped me out in the best way possible and kept me up late for several nights, turning the pages, until I finished. Chloe, the main character, was amazing and I loved that the story was told through her. Everything is happening so fast to her and it’s like we’re right there with her, trying to piece together this puzzle at the same time. She’s brave when she has to be, but her choices are hard and I kept asking myself what I would do in he

I LOVED this book. For so many reasons. First of all, the writing is just gorgeous. This book is filled with lines like this: "I lean closer to the window, but the snow refuses to be anything other than what it is. It falls thickly on the brown grass, clinging to the spindly branches of barren trees." I love it when words roll around my tongue like a mouthful of jewels -- and Richards manages to create this sensation without distracting one bit from the story.

I was fortunate enough to read an ARC of this amazing novel, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the YA genre, and/or suspense/thrillers. The author does a wonderful job of pulling the reader into the story, and building interest in her characters. I loved how the suspense of the plot kept me turning the pages! I've loaned out my ARC to family/friends, and they've enjoyed it too. I can't wait to read the published version when it comes out! In fact, I've already pre-ordered my copy.

Six Months Later started very intriguing for me. It gave me the creeps and the deep curiosity to find out what the mystery was about. There were many good parts that made me decide it was indeed a nice read. Here are some of them : Chloe's protectiveness with Maggie who suffers from a speech defect. It was endearing to read about a strong friendship such as that. Another part I liked was the part where it was clearly showing the readers that the heart remembers in a way that our brain forgets fo

I really enjoyed Six Months Later. Imagine a row of books that are all in similar shades of pastel, nothing wrong with pastel mind you, but then imagine one that just pops out like a neon light....well that is what Six Months Later was like for me. It just stood out among the many books I have read lately providing such a refreshing and much needed change of pace. Six Months Later is a YA thriller that had the feel of reading a movie to me. One day in study hall, Chloe falls asleep. When she aw

Chloe is an average student at best. On this sunny afternoon in May, Chloe finds herself stranded in study hall where she is supposed to be studying madly for her upcoming SATs. Yet, she can't bring herself to crack open a book. The sunshine is warm against her skin, and she instead chooses to take a quick cat nap. She wakes up to a dark and deserted classroom, and out the window snow is falling. She is shocked to find that it is now November. Somehow she is missing six months from her life. Wha
