Reflection
By Jessica Roberts

E-book
289 pages

Book Description from Goodreads:

Bright, spunky Heather Robbins has escaped her small hometown and is anxiously beginning her freshman year of college. Rising above her rocky childhood, she’s found a place where good things are finally starting to happen: her own private apartment, refreshing college classes, and an intense attachment to a mysterious and rugged classmate, Nick Richards.

But when her dreamy college life turns out to be nothing more than a wonderful dream while resting in a coma, questions threaten.

Now, Heather must press forward to unlock the real past, and find the answers buried deep in her mind. What she unlocks instead is a roller coaster ride through flashbacks, embellished memories, and a whirlwind romance.

And when it’s all over and she comes face to face with the truth, will she lose everything she’s fallen in love with?


**My thoughts**

Heather's story is a heartbreaking one. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be trapped in your own mind like she is. She is telling her doctor her story about going to college for the first time, which is all she can remember from before her accident. Your brain feels as fuzzy as hers as she weaves her tale, that often blends past and present or two different pasts. I picture it like a movie in which suddenly the shot cuts away to a distorted image or a staticky voiceover. You feel her anguish as she tries to sort it all out, to come up with simple vocabulary words, and chases people who may just be a figment of her imagination. Your heart aches as you also are trying to figure out if Nick is her true love or if he is just a snippet from her dreams. I was completely drawn into her search for herself and the truth. The end will surprise you and leaves you hanging a bit in anticipation of the follow-up. I need to read the second one to find out what else happens!
