Somewhere In Between by Katie Li - Restarting Feburary 20th 2016

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Two friends find a portal to another dimension and use this “in-between place” to avoid the stress of their everyday lives. What they don’t realize is that every time they enter, they alter reality.

Pseudo-punk Magnolia and underachieving gamer-geek Rom are two unlikely friends who only hang out during their walks home together after school. When they find the a portal that leads to different worlds, they use the “in-between place” as an escape from their lives in high school, then later, after college.

Their visits through the portal bring them teetering along a tight-rope of fantasy and reality, where they don't always believe what is in front of them, not even their feelings for each other.

The book is about changes—the ones that you can control, and the ones that you can’t. It’s about commitment and friendship. It’s about the stages in between where you have nothing but the unknown ahead of you.

Inspired by the work of Haruki Murakami and films like Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind, Somewhere In Between is metaphysical coming-of-age story about defining love and finding yourself.

Yep.

This is quite confusing, and weird.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It seems to keep jumping from past to present and back again without any warning at all.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

73% (view spoiler)[ the discussion about what time looks like was weird. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

That was rubbish.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I just don't really get what it was about!

25%: (view spoiler)[ I am a bit confused at what is happening. It goes from past to future POV, and that too is a bit confusing because it makes it hard to follow the story. The five year jump was just random and weird. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

30%: (view spoiler)[ This is a really quick read. I am actually happy about that because this is such as confusing and weird book. I think the concept is interesting, but the execution of the story is lacking. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

50%: (view spoiler)[ I wish that the story would stop jumping back and forth from past and present. It is making me not enjoy the book as much as I wanted to. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ The discussions are weird, especially the one about time. Also, Zane dying and coming back to life is also weird. The ending was okay. Overall, a 3 star rating. (hide spoiler)]
