Between The Lives
Mod
Above all else, though I try not to think about it, I know which life I prefer. And every night when I Cinderella myself from one life to the next a very small, but definite, piece of me dies. The hardest part is that nothing about my situation has ever changed. There is no loophole.
Until now, that is...
For as long as she can remember, Sabine has lived two lives. Every 24 hours she Shifts to her 'other' life - a life where she is exactly the same, but absolutely everything else is different: different family, different friends, different social expectations. In one life she has a sister, in the other she does not. In one life she's a straight-A student with the perfect boyfriend, in the other she's considered a reckless delinquent. Nothing about her situation has ever changed, until the day when she discovers a glitch: the arm she breaks in one life is perfectly fine in the other. With this new knowledge, Sabine begins a series of increasingly risky experiments which bring her dangerously close to the life she's always wanted...But just what - and who - is she really risking?
This sounds very interesting it reminds me alot of a tv show called Awake last year.. And is it a little bit of jekyll and hyde? still i am very cerious about it cant wait for May!
Mod
I wonder what would happen if she died in one life??? :O
It does sound really interesting :)

IT'S OUT!!!!
I'm going to wait a week so it can hit the shelves, I can't be bothered ordering it online when I can just go past the bookshop and get it. :)
Apparently it already out in Big w stores in Sydney for like 11.88, OMG I want it, when will it hit Melbourne cause I can't be bothered waiting. Do you know any good stores that might have the books? Nothing is coming up on the internet :(
Has anyone finished reading it yet? Finished it within several hours of getting on the day it was released. Chop, chop people. I wanna know what everyone else thinks of it
Mod
oh well. Is anyone else following the blog tour?
Rebekah, there's a blog tour on Jess's website that has links to all the blogs who are talking about it with Jess and asking questions, you can win a giveaway but you already have it. lol.
Yeah I sucks I really hope I can buy it soon, and as for buying it online it still takes a couple of days to get here (especially on ebay)I guess I'll have to wait a couple of days, a week to the max :(

This was one of the few books that made me cry
Mod
that letter at the end oh god...
ETHAN!
I know. I try so hard these days not to throw the book at a wall and drown a fish!
Mod
I just left your room. You were so beautiful lying there sound asleep that I couldn’t bear to wake you. But I’m not feeling so great and there are things I promised to tell you that I fear I may not get the chance to.
I know you had once hoped that I would be the one to pass on your letters to Maddie once you were gone. But, as it turns out, I think it is going to be me who ends up leaving the letters behind.
Be mad at me. You should. But after that try to understand that I did what I thought was best. I wanted to tell you. So many times I snuck down to your room planning on telling you everything, but I just couldn’t.
Partly it was for you – yes. You needed time and I didn’t want to influence your choices, even once I realised what was happening between us, even more so then. Falling in love with you only made those choices more complicated and I feared that you might choose to stay for me and then, after I was gone, change your mind. I couldn’t let that happen.
Partly the choice was selfish, and for that I am sorry. For so long now people have been trying to fix me, but where they failed, you succeeded. You’ve given me more life in the last couple of weeks that I’ve had in years. Being with you, loving you, making memories with you, fearing for you, wanting to show you the beauty of life instead of the terror – it was bittersweet, but more importantly Sabine, it was real.
I know this is the part when I beg you to go on, live your life and be happy. But I don’t need to say those things. I know you. Your lives will be extraordinary. You certainly made mine feel that way.
Please find it in your heart to forgive me one day. I wish we had more time, but I want to thank you – for giving me life in my time of death.
My love for you is eternal.
Ethan.

jokes. I love it Jess, very touching. :)
Mod
a fish? well I may have had a few incidents of throwing books....
or crying for two hours while I read some part of a book! *so emotional*
every time I read that letter i almost cry.
I think I'm gonna cry now! i haven't managed to read the book again, It came out a day before my birthday and I brought, but refuse to read again, because i will cry!Between the Lives
Mod
I borrowed it from the library because they got it before I could. But I want to get it one day.
My brother brought it for me ( after I may or may not have told them too)but I hate how its a stand alone, because the possibilities are "endless" to what could happen! I still wonder if Sabine will give up a life.

And it kind of was resolved although kind of strangely. And I still don't get all the rules of Shifting.
ha ha, I see what you did there! ;)
yeah! maybe Sabine will "embrace" her two lives and live on.
Mod
I think seeing him one last time "emblazed" a fire in her heart, to live on, because she just lost everything she had/loved i both life's
Mod
never mind me
ummm
yeah I think she's lucky that she gets to have two lives, because whatever she can't do in one life, she can do in another.
