A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“An expertly plotted, deliciously clever story.” (Kiersten White, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of PARANORMALCY)

“West’s premise is a winner, and Addie is the kind of heroine readers would want as a best friend―loyal, unpretentious, and thoughtful....What truly makes West’s story memorable, however, is Addie’s wry humor...and the book’s fascinating exploration of how life can change with one simple choice.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“With superb storytelling, a masterful blend of paranormal and normal, a helping of wit and humor, and a mouthwatering romance, PIVOT POINT is one of the most delicious books I’ve read.” (Elana Johnson, author of POSSESSION)

“The unique structure, seeing two alternate realities playing out at once, leaves you pleading with the characters―don’t answer that phone, don’t go in that house, don’t talk to that person. PIVOT POINT is at once tense and romantic, challenging and engaging. It’s a truly remarkable debut.” (Robison Wells, author of VARIANT)

“West’s debut showcases riveting storytelling.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“West takes [an]... intriguing premise and infuses it with a conclusion that will surprise and please the romantic teen reader.” (Booklist)

“West has created an intricately woven story of two possible futures. This debut novel...is a welcome change.” (School Library Journal)

Quatrième de couverture :

Knowing the outcome doesn't always make a choice easier. . . .

Addison Coleman's life is one big "What if?" As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. It's the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought. When Addie's parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with—her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the "Norms," or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the future proves it's not.

In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback's girlfriend. When Addie's father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she's unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she's willing to live through . . . and who she can't live without.
