Summer 2006 Review:

Book Cover Rewind: Sometimes Love Only Makes Sense Backwards

    The book Rewind’s setting takes place at their high school. The main characters are Cady, Lucas, and Hope. Each chapter goes back and forth between the three characters telling their side of the story. The book starts from when they are at prom back to when Lucas first moved to this new school at the beginning of the year. The story is about young girl (Cady) falling for this new guy (Lucas). He seemed interested at first and then they just became friends. Lucas was secretly seeing Hope, but that was only because she wouldn’t allow him to tell anyone they were dating. But at prom Lucas did something that he shouldn’t of done and now he is in trouble. The book goes back in time and shows how everything leads up to this event. In the book the characters are very likeable but there are some parts you just want to jump in the book and just ask them why did they do that? The book Rewind is a very good book. It has a lot of lessons to learn from and the things they get into just keeps you glued to the book all night. I would recommend this book to high school students. Cause the characters are seniors and also there is some sexual activities, some vulgar language, and teen parties.
