Anything But Ordinary by Lara Avery

     Hello reader! I hope you're doing well and that you've been staying dry if it's raining by you. This past weekend the skies have opened up and just sent us a deluge. No thunder and lightning  though.

     Since it's currently raining I thought how awful it would to be swimming. And then I remembered a fantastic book I've read that I hope you might enjoy. Anything But Ordinary is one of the only books I've ever reread besides Harry Potter.

   17-year-old Bryce has her entire life figured out. She's going to be an Olympic diver, one of the best because she's been training her entire life. Bryce has always participated in swimming and she always tells people that her key to succeeding is something every one can come by. But it's not. It's just space. She needs her proper space, knows exactly how much she needs for her perfect dives. In what we assume to be a race, Bryce is ready. But she realizes there is not enough space. But she complies anyways and everything was perfect but she needed just one more inch of space. And the place lacking it was the perfect, curved edge of her skull.

     Five years later, Bryce wakes up from a coma. She still feels 17 but she's not. Everything she knows is gone.
She no longer has an athlete's body.
Her parents aren't really happy.
Her younger sister is 15 and has taken a dramatic personality change.
Her boyfriend and best friend are now college graduates.

      Bryce has no clue what to do with her life. She can't swim anymore and her whole life has been brutally thrown away. But,there is one thing that Bryce notices is wrong. There is something more to her. Something not right.

       In this heartbreakingly beautiful novel you experience Bryce start to reaclamate to life, discover a whole new world of adult hood and deal with the dramatic changes in her life as she tries to find who she is.

     I will warn you that this book does not have a happy ending. It'll leave you crying within the first two pages and sobbing at the end. Lara Avery really does show the reader how much we all have and how we need to be grateful for it. Avery does a spectacular job at feeding us emotion after emotion and keeping us hooked. I definitely know I'll read this book three times, four times maybe even six!

    I hope I helped you with your next reading choice and if you do choose to pick it up I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Remember to keep reading and be nice to others,
