Pivot Point by Kasie West

published 2013

Summary (via the book jacket)

Addison Coleman's life is one big "What if?" As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. It's the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought. When Addie's parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the future proves it's not.

With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she's willing to live through...and who she can't live without.

My Opinion

3 stars

I received this book for Christmas but not the sequel so I waited until I could get Split Second from the library because they were presented as tandem reading.  I'm glad I did because I will jump right into it now that I've finished this.

I read it in a day but that was more from wanting to keep up the pace and see what would happen rather than "I love this and can't put it down".  It felt like the stakes were lower as I was actually reading because I knew it was a Search.  I understand why she made the decision she did at the end but I also think the choice shouldn't have been so agonizing...teens deciding they're in love after a week and all the dramatics that go with it make me roll my eyes.

So it's readable and I want to read the sequel to finish it out but I also have a headache from over-the-top emotion.
