Don't Look Back / Jennifer L. Armentrout

Don't Look Back / Jennifer L. Armentrout

What it's about in one sentence: When Sam comes back after her and her best friend Cassie's disappearance, she doesn't remember a thing; not the things she liked, not what she was like, and definitely not what happened that night.

Gave this 4 stars on Goodreads! The moment I started reading, I could not put it down. It was fast-paced, a page-turner.

Honestly it gave me a mix vibe of We Were Liars by E. Lockhart and Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas because of certain reasons, but I tried my best to close my eyes on those comparisons and that is how I enjoyed this one =)

I liked how Sam was shocked to know how she was like before she lost her memories, and how she slowly but surely got over "evil Sammy".  Before she disappeared, she was a real bitch to everyone at school. You could see how the kids feared her or hated her, through the little interactions she had with them.

Honestly I thought it was kind of cute how her bitch clique was saying Look at that kid there you used to call her a fat bitch and you once took her food and offered her a salad to eat instead and she was just like No! I wouldn't do that!

I was supporting her the whole way, and just as badly wanted to know the truth as she did, even though she herself was questioning her own sanity.

Her brother's support for her was unbelievable, I mean, maybe because I have an elder brother who practically treats me like a stranger and that is why I didn't find it realistic for a brother to be so caring and supportive. I was a bit envious, but it works for me. I loved him as well as Julie, they make great side characters.

One thing I didn't 100% appreciate though is the romance between Sam & Carson. Okay, I liked their childhood past and whatnot, but I feel their relationship after her accident was a bit rushed. I don't really like rushed romances /:

Overall a really great mystery YA, would in my opinion make an amazing, suspenseful film!
