Laura can't remember who she is. But the rest of the world knows. Because Laura is famous - a dying girl who was frozen until she could be cured. A real-life Sleeping Beauty.
This book was gripping from start to finish. The story of a girl who has woken from cryopreservation, finds herself in a world she doesn’t recognise. The story follows Laura as she comes to terms with new technology in a future that she doesn’t belong, whilst discovering the truth about her past.
The writing in this book is excellent. The chapters are split between two characters which gives a different perspective and, although to begin with it is not clear how they are linked, as the story develops it becomes more obvious. However, this doesn’t lose anything from the story itself.
The only mild criticism I have of the book is that it comes to a rather abrupt end. The epilogue does tie up all the lose ends but I felt that there could’ve been a bit more development to the story. Again, that doesn’t detract from the rest of the book and it was a very well-paced story
For a young adult novel, it is definitely one that an older audience can enjoy.
