Title: Life In Reverse
Author: Beth Michele
Publication Date: March 21, 2016
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Vance... Ember Bennett was my beginning...but she was also the end. She was my downfall. And I never even saw her coming. She didn’t burst into my life demanding to be noticed. Instead, she slipped in under my radar when I wasn’t looking. Caught me off guard. I should have been paying better attention. Because I found myself drawn to her. Her quirkiness, her laughter, her brutal honesty. I didn’t ask for her. Still I found myself wanting her. Needing her. Craving her. I just couldn’t have her. Ember... I was minding my own business when Vance Davenport showed up. He wasn’t talking, yet somehow I heard him. I wasn’t looking, but my eyes sought him out. He became something I never expected. Until it all changed. Then he became someone I wanted to forget.
Darra's Review:
We have read other books from Beth Michele and we were already a fan. However that made no difference. We truly liked the book. I enjoyed the characters and that means a lot in the book.
Ember is her own person. Original and owns it. Absolutely blunt and does not apologize for telling the truth. Vance has so much going on in life, it seemed impossible to get involved in other friendships or more. Loved the rest of the family and friends as well. Although all of both their families have been struck by tragedy, Ember and Vance are more affected than the others. I think that is what makes the bond so tight.
Despite of all that is happening, life goes on. And that is what makes this story believable. It makes it more personable and I enjoyed the book from beginning to the end.
I rate Life in Reverse a 4.6.

Sunny's Review:
I really liked this book. The characters were so normal and relatable. You have Ember, a girl that is going through life and trying to figure out how to live after a tragedy. Then you have Vance, a guy trying to deal with a tragedy and a very uncertain future. I liked that there was not an instalove with them. They didn't even really like each other in the beginning. Really and truly I liked all the characters in this book. You get to see so many emotions from all the characters.
Ember and Vance are both in their early twenties and dealing with a lot. They become friends and I like that even though they are attracted to each other they spend the time getting to know each other. They each have different ways of coping with things and they help the other along the way. As usual all people screw up and they both did. I would say Vance more than Ember but I still wanted to shake her at one point.
I realize that this review is vague but I don't want to give anything away. I recommend reading it! I think it was great. I am giving it 4.6 stars out of 5.
