Book Blog - THROUGH TO YOU by Emily Hainsworth

“Fresh, exciting, and haunting [...] a must-have for any classroom or library shelf.” (VOYA Magazine, starred review)

From the Author's website:
Camden Pike has been grief-stricken since his girlfriend, Viv, died. Viv was the last good thing in his life: helping him rebuild his identity after a career-ending football injury, picking up the pieces when his home life shattered, and healing his pain long after the meds wore off. And now, he’d give anything for one more glimpse of her. But when Cam makes a visit to the site of Viv’s deadly car accident, he sees some kind of apparition. And it isn’t Viv.

The apparition’s name is Nina, and she’s not a ghost. She’s a girl from a parallel world, and in this world, Viv is still alive. Cam can’t believe his wildest dreams have come true. All he can focus on is getting his girlfriend back, no matter the cost. But things are different in this other world: Viv and Cam have both made very different choices, things between them have changed in unexpected ways, and Viv isn’t the same girl he remembers. Nina is keeping some dangerous secrets, too, and the window between the worlds is shrinking every day. As Cam comes to terms with who this Viv has become and the part Nina played in his parallel story, he’s forced to choose—stay with Viv or let her go—before the window closes between them once and for all.

I begged this book off of fellow YAMuse, Veronica Rossi, and read it on the plane back from the SILVER launch.  I love the male point of view and have always been intrigued by the idea of parallel worlds.  Emily's debut is a wonderfully evocative story that I highly recommend!  THROUGH TO YOU has sold in ten different countries and and Paramount Pictures/Montecito Picture Co. has acquired the film rights.

I'm also looking forward to meeting Emily on October 20 at the Boulder Bookstore's Teen Reads FREE Event.
