The Catastrophic History of You And Me
I’ve read a number of good young adult books, and this particular title will never belong to my favorite list or even to my recommended one.
This book is just so not good.
I know it’s fiction, but the way it was "fictionize" is kind of messed up. The fiction is just too much. It was exaggerated.
The characters’ banters are also too long and "scripty". It was awkward and unnatural. But I did enjoy some of the sweet exchanges on some parts.
In general, I did not enjoy this particular book because I felt that it went overboard. The concept is good, but the way it was executed, written, conceptualized and ended is just weird. But, I guess the book has charms that would appeal to teens.
Anyway, I can’t help but compare this to Gayle Forman’s If I Stay, which I think is a lot better.
The story
Brie died from a heart attack after her boyfriend told her that he doesn't love her anymore. The pain was too much that it literally broke her heart into two. When her soul wandered in heaven,
she met a lost soul named Patrick who helped her adjust in the afterlife. Knowing what happened to her, Patrick decided to help Brie get her revenge to the person who caused her death
Wondering on earth, Brie discovered a lot of things about her family and the reason why her boyfriend broke up with her. There were too many painful revelations in her life that she was left empty and depressed.
So when she was given a chance to go back to earth for one day, she didn't hesitate to take it. But Patrick stopped her.
She began to hate Patrick for what he did. And blamed him for losing her only chance to correct her life once again.
But Brie soon found out the reason why Patrick did that. And a forgotten memory started to come back to her. A memory that will finally free her soul from the darkness.
