This book was interesting. It started off pretty interesting; the prologue gave a glimpse as to what happened in the middle of the book and from there, it just made me want to read more. So the story centers around Lizzie Davenport and her confusing hot-and-cold interaction with Drew Carmichael, a transfer student from Manhattan. From the second she sets eyes on Drew, Lizzie feels a connection. Like she's known him all her life, like he's familiar - even though she knows that she'd never actually met him before. Lizzie herself, is going through a rough patch with Jeremy, her boyfriend who's been going through some personality changes due to his sudden boost in popularity in school. All of these troubles with said boyfriend is making her sudden attraction to the new boy all that more troubling and somewhat tantalizing. In the meantime, her best friend Chelsea has decided that she has a thing for Drew and before Lizzie realizes what's going on, Drew and Chelsea are officially dating. Of course, all of these instances are nothing compared to the chemistry and connection that Drew and Lizzie have between the other - something that's just begging to start trouble if anything more were to happen. 
 I can't really put into words how I feel about this book. The concept is interesting, the execution was decent - I think that what's keeping me from giving it a five-star rating is a few things in the book that was written out. Drew's hot and cold attitude with Lizzie was not only frustrating her, but me as well. Every time he tried to push her away, he was back at her side, sidling in closer the very next moment. Lizzie wasn't the only one feeling the confusion; I was right there with her. Michelle's portrayal of the smaller roles in the book was spot-on though. They were all human beings with flaws, and once she revealed the story behind Jeremy and Lizzie's relationship, I gave it another nod for realistic writing. I've had my own fair share of relationships that had slowly dwindled down and came apart until it felt like strangers remained in place, so I felt like her portrayal of the two teenagers and their changing relationship nailed it. 
 I have always believed in things like reincarnation, soulmates, that sort of thing. I've always been fascinated by the concepts and have always felt that in some way, it's a very real thing. So when I found out that this book toyed with the idea of reincarnation, I dove right into it with an eagerness that I'm almost embarrassed to admit to. However, and I say this was reluctance, when she introduced Alistair into the book as Lizzie's memory guide to her past (or something like that), the book took a weird turn for me. I no longer felt that it was something that could possibly happen, and more like something that falls into the sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural field. I won't say that it's a bad book because it wasn't. For the most part, I found it an interesting read and something that I did enjoy. It's just that a few elements in the book was kind of strange and prevented me from giving it the stars that I wanted to.
