As I Wake Elizabeth Scott Books

When Ava wakes up, she has no idea who she is. The bedroom she's in, the house she lives in, and the mother who lives with her are all completely unfamiliar. The doctors tell her it's all the result of some medical anomaly, perhaps an infection, that has completely wiped her memory, and one day she may recover it. So Ava goes on living, struggling to remember everything that is unfamiliar about her life. Soon, she does start remembering things--but they can't be memories from the life she's living now. Then she meets Morgan--he's the first one to acknowledge that the life she's living now is a lie, and he's the key to figuring out who she is and reclaiming her life.

As I Wake is a very intriguing book with an unexpected twist. Fans of Scott's Love You Hate You Miss You will be attracted to it thanks to the brief summary, but this sci-fi mystery masquerading as a dramatic contemporary novel is more similar to Grace than any of her other work. Ava's situation is unique, and her questions are immediate: who is she? Where is she? Who doesn't she remember anything? And, how did she get to this unfamiliar place? Those questions are enough to hook readers, and the strange and uneasy atmosphere of Ava's home life and social life contribute to the overall feeling that something isn't quite right. Scott sprinkles in snatches of Ava's life before she lost her memory, giving readers a glimpse into an unsettling world where Ava walks a fine line between obedience and rebelling against what she has always known. The particulars of both the present world and Ava's past world are very vague and hazy, and readers never really learn how they are linked, or how exactly Ava got into the situation that she is in. Nonetheless, the tension between characters and the mystery of what happened to Ava is interesting, and that will keep readers going until the very end, even though many questions are left unanswered.

As I Wake Elizabeth Scott Books Reviews

Did not like it. I read tons of books and always try to give a book the benefit of the doubt. Continue reading giving it a chance to prove me wrong if not grabbing my attention fairly soon. I dont think that this book was written well though. It seemed as if the author tried too hard to get into the main character role which comes across as scattered thoughts. I guess I'd have to compare it to Enders game, which again was scattered here and there. Not knowing if you're coming or going. I have nothing against interdimensional sci-fi, but seriously I have read better in this category. Unfortunately I have not read other books by Elizabeth Scott, nor do I desire too after reading this. A good book allows you to get something out of it. Some type of emotion, learning something new, even opening your eyes to a possibility, but this book does none of those things. I hate when I feel my time is wasted and I feel it was after reading this book.
It was kind of confusing in some parts but other wise it was a fantastic book. I loved how the book has such great detail.
First thoughts

What?! Huh?! What just happened? Alot of those questions ran through my mind throughout reading this book. This is definately a book you have to be an active reader on, there's no laying back and causally reading. You need to strap on a life vest, get in the boat and be prepared for a white water experience. This is a refreshing and unique story. Where two worlds collide and you the reader must depict which is real and which is not.

Summary

Ava wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory on who she is. She remembers nothing, she feels nothing but confusion and nervousness. But soon she starts dreaming and is thrown into a world she does know, where she knows things; a world that is the opposite of earth now. A world where food is scarce and everything is dull and dead looking. And soon she gains those memories back of that world, she learns of Morgan, the guy who would do anything for her, a guy who is dying for her for just being in this world she is in now. And as Ava starts to learn more of where she came from and who she is, she gets torn in two. She was put in this world without consent, yet this world is worth living, food is abundant and you have choices.

But even with all that, Ava is not happy. She needs answers; she needs Morgan. And the friends of Ava(the girl who is no more) are different, she thinks she knows them from her world, but they're different. Ava battles to "Wake-Up" and discover who she is and who she is meant to be. But there are just some things you can't wake-up from. Is this really something she'll never truly awaken from?

Last thoughts

A wonderful and intriguing read. It can be intimidating but don't let that stop you, trust me, a good book comes with confusion and answers and even though not every question was answered (a trait I usually despise in a book) I was content with it. I think it was better left for the reader to question, to allow them to come up with the answers. And though I do hope for a sequel in this series I don't think it's necessary. Elizabeth Scott is a talented writer and I think everyone should give her a shot, you just might be suprised. I rate this book 4.5 stars!!
