Book Review: Now You See Her by Lisa Leighton & Laura Stropki

It has been awhile since I posted a book review. So bear with me here. 

AMELIA has always felt like a happy life is just out of reach. Having moved every few years with her mom and sister, she’s always had a hard time making and keeping friends; there’s never enough time, and never enough money to stay in one place. And now, in her senior year, right before tennis season, Mom wants to move again.

SOPHIE has a perfectly curated, Instagram-ready life, from her first singles wins to her cute, long-term boyfriend to the beautiful, landscaped home where she lives with her parents. Though they’re tennis teammates, the two girls almost never speak.

But then one night changes everything. When Amelia’s car breaks down on the side of the road in a rainstorm, a man she thinks is a Good Samaritan pulls over to help her. When he tries to abduct her instead, she escapes into oncoming traffic.

In one inexplicable moment, Amelia and Sophie switch bodies. Amelia wakes up in Sophie’s body. Amelia’s body is in a coma. Now Amelia needs to find a way to switch back into her own life—but before that, she must retrace her steps to unravel the mystery of the accident, her attempted abduction, and how it’s all tied to her mother’s secret past.

         So, this is the book that I just finished over 10 minutes ago and I have to talk about it while I'm still in the mood for some reviewing. The story began with Amelia's POV and she introduced us to Sophie, the seemingly perfect girl with perfect life. But not all seems like what it seems.

        After a freak accident, somehow, someway, both of these girls switched their bodies. Amelia woke up after being hit by car driven by Sophie... as Sophie. And Sophie in hers (though she remained to be in coma for most of the books). Something mysterious happened to Amelia before she had the accident and to be honest, I knew who the perpetrator was from long way down the road and his intention. I found it weird that (SPOILER he was supposed to be his father and he failed to help Amelia when she got hit by the car since he was a doctor) 

       All in all, this book could be better. Just there was something wrong with it somewhere, I couldn't pinpoint it exactly. I hate that we don't get a full conclusion about the body switching stuff. Why it happened? (SPOILER because they're half-sisters? Their father is a psychopath?) Plus, I want Landon to know that it was Amelia all along in Sophie's body. It just ended so incomplete. I need more character development dammit.

        I could say it was an okay read. Approaching a 3 star out of 5 for me. Not that mind-blowing but an okay filler read as I'm searching for good books. Anyhow, this is all I could say for now. Gotta move on onto other books. Tata.
