What a random concept for a book…But a brilliant one! Loved it!I do need to point out right now that while this is in the genre of Contemporary Romance. There is hardly any romance in it. Yes Jay and Lila are madly in love, and you don't doubt that for a second but that takes a back seat with this book. It focus's on the intense 2 "reality's" of the night.Lila has been best friends with Heather and Nilah her whole life. It’s always been those 3.Jay is Lila’s high school sweetheart but goes to a different College to them; they are madly in love and can’t get enough of each other.Jay is coming to see Lila for the Friday night and then they are all going home for Nilah’s birthday for the weekend.Nilah and Heather spring it on Lila that they want to go out for Nilah’s birthday on Friday night.Hence we get the story of 2 Friday nights….One where she stays home with JayAnd the otherWhere she goes out with the girls leaving Jay at home.Upon waking up screaming… Lila realise it was all a dream…Like Groundhog day, she has just woken up and it is Friday morning…But for whatever reason she has seen how the night will go.She can’t let this Friday happen.She needs to stop the girls from going out.She needs to… She needs to change the outcome of the Friday night.THOUGHTSMegan Hand’s debut novel blew me away. I didn’t really get what the book was about when I read the synopsis, but was intrigued enough to try it.Please do! I’m not going to give anything away, so I apologise for the vagueness of it all.I do need to sat that... hmm.. It gets real! and scary! but still awesome! Super intense, so much so that I had to read it one sitting and find out what happened!
