Life, As Is by Brenda Thornlow Review

 

Synopsis:


Here's my story: I go to bed with my husband Greg in late 2013 in Brooklyn and the next morning I wake up as my twenty-six year old self in 1997! I'm 3,000 miles away from home in California, living with my crazy guitarist ex-boyfriend. I reconnect and hook up with Jim, an old flame that I lost touch with in my teens. Then, as soon as I manage to get my life on track and help my younger brother Caelum get back on his feet, I fall asleep while watching T.V. and wake up in 2015! I'm back in New York but in a strange apartment with Greg living across the hall and married to somebody else. Oh, and apparently, I'm married to Jim! How did this happen, again?

Darra's Review:
 
Please forgive me for the wait on this review. It is absolutely worth your time! The first book of this Series is My Life As I Knew It. You must read this to understand what is happening in the book. I can say I really liked the first book. However Life, As Is, it's even better. I will not steer you wrong. The story is unique and you will enjoy all the characters.
The epilogue in the last book left it completely open to what may happen next. It is crazy how Brianna went back to her life before Greg. You can't help but root for Greg and Bri to stay together. Then Bam! She is with her past boyfriend, Jim.
 
I wish I could say my loyalty's stayed with Greg, but I couldn't help but love Jim. A little on the fruity side(obviously I am not a exercise freak. Shockingly, I hated Brianna. What a difference a person can change with the life and people she lives with. At the end, she hated her new self. Rightfully so. However she redeems herself. But then she wakes up in her life even before than. Just when you are happy in the direction her life was moving towards.
 
Really interested in what's to come with the next book. It will have surprises in it that will affect the rest of her life. Life takes you on all different journey's. Looking forward to reading Bri's next(past) life in the third book.
 
I rate the book a 4.6. Absolutely worth your time. Make sure you read the first book!

Darra's Review:
 

We chose this book because it was a unique synopsis. Not like what I have read before. I truly did enjoy the book. I think you learn more about the characters because of the back and forth of her life. That way you understand why she wanted to make changes for the better.
However if you think about it, so many things about your current life if you did something just a bit different when  you were younger. The books makes you think about that. All the what if's.
The only complaint I have was the ending. It was to be a cliffhanger, but it seemed to just dropped off. I reread the last few sentences because it was confusing by how it was worded. Good news is that the first chapter of the next book is included. So that made up for the odd ending.
 
I would rate the book a 4.3.
 

AUTHOR BIO

I started writing at a very young age, mostly as an escape from the real world. It is something I have done on and off throughout my life, but never went so far as to actually try and get published. 

I started my latest story, My Life As I Knew It, around 3 years ago. I was on a roll with it until I allowed life to get in the way. I am now officially picking up where I left off. It is the first book of a series on which I'm working.

I came up with the premise for this story while undergoing some pretty harsh challenges in my personal life. As mentioned before, I always liked writing as a means of escape. While going through these particularly tough times, I had a moment when I thought about what it would be like to go back in time and do certain things differently...which I'm sure almost everyone has thought about from time to time. I sat in front of my keyboard one morning, thought about what I would do if I had that chance and went from there.
