Addison Coleman's life is one big "what if". As a Searcher, a special type of clairvoyant, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she is able to look into the future and see both outcomes. So when her parents tell her they are getting a divorce and she has to pick who she wants to live with, a Search has never been more important.

In one future, Addie is living with her mom in the life she's always known and is being pursued by the most popular guy in school. In the other, she is the new girl in school, where she falls for a cute, quiet artist. Then, Addie finds herself drawn into a murder investigation, and her fate takes a darker turn.

So fun!!!

Loved the book - so much fun and the loved the characters. I ended up giving up on the recorded book and got the kindle version and couldn’t put it down! Flying through book #2.

Narrator was really not suited for the book. She was not a teenager, she wasn’t young, she was boring, and the male characters she did had no emotion whatsoever. Just a “lower voice”

Eh, it's decent.

The idea for the story was intriguing, and I think the writer did a good job of making sure that there were no inconsistencies. However, the story was a bit disappointing. The description says that the main character is drawn into a murder investigation, but it's fairly peripheral. I really would have liked to see more involvement in that and less of the basic teenage angst aspect. I mean, mind powers and murders, but we spend a bunch of time on the intricacies of high school romances? Meh. I also didn't enjoy the fact that the main character is so passive. She can see alternate futures, but claims to be powerless to do anything about it. In spite of dire circumstances, she refuses to even try to make a difference which was pretty annoying. As far as the how and why of the murders, that was fairly interesting, just a shame it had to take such a backseat to the everyday stuff.

Her voice is ruining the book

I read this a long time ago and wanted to read again. I rarely have time to read so the audio book seemed like a good option but this narrator is terrible. everyone is too breathy and whiny. Every statement ends in a question mark. terrible.
