Daisy died for the first time in a bus accident when she was four years old. She's died four more times since then. Each time she was brought back by a drug called Revive. Each death meant a new town and a new name. She's never been overly sad to leave a place by behind and when her and her pseudo-family arrive in Omaha, Nebraska, she wonders if it will be the same. Then she meets siblings Matt and Audrey McKean, who quickly become her first real friends (outside of the program). But living with a secret as big as Daisy's isn't easy, especially when things start to make her start to question the program. 
 I will put it out there that I am not a science geek. I take Revived at face value and accept the drug for what it is. The story also isn't so much about the drug. While it does play a significant part, the story has a much more human focus, dealing with the topics of death and grief. This is my second book by Cat Patrick and I've definitely noticed that she has a formula when writing. Girl has secret, girl meets boy and wants to spill the secret, problems ensure. Having the formula isn't bad and it definitely works. Revived was fast passed and definitely engaging. The story grapples with the questions we all eventually must face about life and death in a manner I was not expecting. If you're searching for a stand alone, this one is definitely worth checking out.
