I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.Viola Bellerose is in a coma. Caught in a cycle of strange dreams, the only time she becomes conscious of her surroundings is when a young intern visits, spilling all of his thoughts and memories to her, unaware of the fact that she can hear everything. Dr. Phillips is the only person who truly seems to believe that Viola will ever wake again.After an unforgettable kiss with a beautiful stranger earlier in the night, Sam Phillips is called into work, to find his next patient is the mysterious girl from the club. Sitting with his sleeping beauty over the next few weeks, Sam tells her all about his life, discovering that spending time with her is the only time he feels truly peaceful.Upon waking up, Viola discovers that her whole world has changed whilst she was sleeping. When she decides that her accident might not have been so accidental after all, she tries to enlist the help of Sam. The only person she trusts and the one doctor to believe that she is not crazy, Viola sets out to find the truth and seek her revenge, with the possibility of finding true love along the way.Wake for me was a very intriguing and captivating read that I found hard to put down. With the chapters alternating between the perspectives of Sam and Viola, it allows the readers to understand and see the story unravel from both characters point of views. Whilst this can sometimes be confusing if not told right, Isobel Irons manages to capture the story perfectly, making each chapter flow well in to the next. There are only a few books I have read that involve a coma patient as a main character, but I loved this story and how well the author has managed to create Violas reality so well, describing her bizarre dreams alongside the events happening in real life, without the plot getting too confusing or hard to follow.Overall this book was well written and explained throughout. A pleasure to read that I would definitely recommend to everyone!
