Laila has a lot of issues at home, her dad is addicted to suppressors and her brother is struggling with his lack of any special abilities. It was interesting to hear from Laila in this book. Add to all of that the fact that Addie can now slow time and she has a lot to sort through in this book. Not to mention the Compound’s agents seem convinced that Addie is a danger to herself and others. She ends up making friends with Stephanie (Trevor’s ex) which makes her struggle with her feelings towards Trevor all the more awkward. She knows her dad is keeping secrets from her and is drawn to Trevor but can’t figure out why. I never was confused about whose POV I was reading from.Īddie is struggling a lot in this book. West did an excellent job of giving the two girls very distinct voices. The book alternates between Addie’s POV and Laila’s POV. I absolutely could not put this book down, I just breezed right through it. This book was absolutely engrossing and engaging, just like the first book in this series. Meanwhile Addie’s best friend Laila has figured out how to restore memories and is desperate to restore Addie’s for her so that she can remember Trevor. Then she meets Trevor on the Outside and seems drawn to him, she can’t quite remember why though. Then her dad offers to have her visit over winter break and Addie jumps at the opportunity to leave all her troubles at the Compound behind. On top of all this her ability is acting up and she can suddenly slow time…for a cost. She can only have faith in herself that the other path would have been worse. She chose a path in which her best friend betrayed her and her boyfriend used her. There are spoilers ahead from the first book, so just a warning in case you haven’t read Pivot Point yet.Īddie chose the future in which her best friend didn’t die but she has had her memory of that other path erased. This was just as engrossing and fast-paced as Pivot Point was, I could not put it down.

This is the second and final book in the Pivot Point series (at least I think it is). Stand Alone or Series: 2nd book in the Pivot Point series
