March 20, 2013 "Ripple Effect" by Paul McCusker: Okay, so this book I only came across because it fell off out when I was trying to get a different book. It is about a teenage girl, Elizabeth Forde, who is sick of her 'embarrassing' parents and so decides to run away.
Cause you know that is the way to handle things..
So anyway the night before she is going to make a run for it with her best friend, Jeff, she decides to take a bath (you know cause if your going to run away you might as well be clean). Anyways, so she takes a bath and while she is in there strange things start to happen until she it literally PULLED UNDER THE WATER AND HELD THERE FOR A FEW MINS! Now reader I don't know about you but after reading this I am going to be a little bit worried next time I go to take a bath. Anyways, so finally she is let go and she comes out of the water and it is all muddy with grass in it and understandably she freaks out. She struggles for a good almost 2 pages to get out of the tub, which I must confess I found slightly humorous, after she gets out it is all downhill from there. She seems to have come out of the water into an "alternate reality".
Personally, the whole book has a kind of "Fringe" (TV show) feel to it so far.
She soon finds that other people are living in her house and everyone keeps referring to her as "Sarah". Freaky huh? Turns out the house is now "Sarah's boyfriend's house" and "Sarah" has been living there with her bf and his parents, who seem to hate her.
In short her "boyfriend", Calvin, takes her to the Doctor and she ends up getting put in the psych ward, shocker I know! Meanwhile, back in her reality everyone is freaking out thinking that she has just run away by herself.
You are now up to date on the frist 60 pages of "Ripple Effect" more to come soon!
