I’m participating in this fun yearly event once again hosted by YA Reads.
I’m lucky enough to be posting about two authors this year, so be
sure to check my post earlier this month HERE. I read In 27 Days this past summer, and you can check out my review of it HERE.
Book info:
Title: In 27 Days
Author: Alison Gervais
Genre: YA Contemporary, Magical Realism
Release Date: July 25th, 2017 (Originally on Wattpad May 28th, 2012)
Publisher: Blink YA Books
Synopsis:
Hadley Jamison receives an unexpected shock when she hears her classmate, Archer Morales, committed suicide. She didn’t know the quiet, reserved guy very well, but Hadley can’t shake the feeling that there was something she could have done to help him. Little does she know, she will actually have the chance. At Archer’s funeral, Hadley is approached by a man named Death who offers her a deal—if she accepts, she will be sent back twenty-seven days in time to prevent Archer from committing suicide.
Twenty-seven days was the length of time it took for Archer to decide to kill himself, and twenty-seven days is all Hadley has to succeed in saving him. Unfortunately, Archer isn’t exactly on the same page. Despite his cold comebacks and aloof exterior, Hadley knows he needs her, and continues to pursue a friendship with him. Archer begins softening up, and Hadley believes that her mission to save him will be a success.
But just when Hadley is beginning to feel confident, a series of dangerous accidents occur. She and Archer are pushed apart, and she must decide whether she is ready to risk everything—including her own life—to keep Archer safe.

What an interesting plot line for a book, teen suicide is such an important topic. Sounds like a must read.

Ooh I really like a lot of these actors, especially Tom and Misha. 🙂

I do love Misha! Thanks for visiting!
I really enjoyed this book, and am eager to catch up with Hadley and Archer. That cast is pretty awesome too. I could totally see them in those roles.
It was a good book. I was glad to get to host the author for the Debut Author tour. Thanks for stopping by!
This sounds really good! I like to read books that tackle tough subjects. Teens have so many challenges to face today and the more books out there that show these challenges, the better for them. Thank you for writing books like this!
I tend to pick the tough topic books for when I read contemporary YA. Thanks for visiting!
