I loved the book, it was a very sweet story. Is there going to be another?

I absolutely fell in love with the story which is why I gave it 4 stars. I really liked the paranormal feel between Becca and Caleb. It felt like they were brought together by true love from another lifetime that ended tragically. In the beginning I started to think that Becca might have a brain tumor but then other factors started coming into play.
I can think of at least 5 parts of the story were never fully explained. I almost feel like my rating should be lower based upon how many questions I still have but I really, really liked the feel of the story!
Please...Please tell me there is more?!?!

An enchanting tale that captured my heart and made me yearn for the second. As I read through and attempted to unravel the mysteries hidden within the pages I discovered more and more of them when it seemed like I had it all figured out. A girl with a passion for dance and a hockey player captured my heart with their romance making me yearn for a love such as theirs.

Hoping there will be a sequel, lots of unanswered threads.

YA
I made it to about ten percent before I started to skim. The plot is an amazing idea but the writing is a bit bland. A lot of the day to day stuff could have been cut and the characters were just a bit to perfect. I want my characters to have struggles in life and make mistakes.

I guess I am a bit baffled...I didn't know this book was going to be a series, so didn't expect to have so many unanswered questions at the end. The story itself was good, even if there were times when it moved kind of slow...
I did like a lot of these characters, including Becca even with her schizophrenic behavior toward Caleb. The book was not perfect, but the storyline is a good one. I am hoping there is a next book that answers all of the open questions around what the deal is with Becca's physical symptoms, how she and Caleb are linked to Cassandra and Blake, what happened to Cassandra and Blake, what the deal is with Ashley, her mom, and Becca's ballet teacher to name a few.
Caleb is practically perfect, but because of her fugues and nosebleeds, Becca decides that a relationship is not possible. Caleb already dated one "crazy" girl and she does not want to have her heart broken when he realizes that she is not "normal". I'll admit that having memories/visions of someone else and a past that is not your own is not something you can share with most people, but she doesn't share it with ANYONE, including her best friends, dad, or grandma. She just pretends it is getting better and just accepts that people either misses it or finds her strange. And yet she is in love with Caleb....which would not make sense given she won't spent most of her life avoiding him. Although it did not make sense I kind of went with that since as the book went along the more you learned about Caleb and his dreams, and their connection.
You definitely get a lot of build up between these characters and Becca's emotional responses, but again, you get left with so many unanswered mysteries that by the end, you're happy they are making progress, but frustrated at the lack of closure. I definitely want to see where the author takes us and hope we are not looking at a long series.

Wow, this was a really interesting read. I debated on the 3 vs 4 stars, but there were just too many unanswered questions at the end, I am hoping we find out more in the next book, which of course I now have to read.
With that said, holy buckets I about got whip lash turning the pages at the end. I was dying with what was going to happen. My heart was leaping out of my chest! There are so many questions I have though about Becca, Caleb and their shared memory of Cassandra. I was really hoping to get to that at the end of this book. What's up with Ashleys mom and Becca's dance teacher, why does she have all these past life flash backs, is she ever going to tell Caleb, why does she remember the day of her birth... so. many. questions!! Ugh... I know what I will be doing today!!
Great break out read from a local author. Lots of references to the Twin Cities, Plymouth and Wayzata area. Latuffs made the cut, I loved it. The few Twi references had me snickering at what felt like my own little private joke (a dog named Edward, haha!). I'm excited to see what Ms. Atkins brings to the stage in her sequel, "My Last Dance?".

This book was amazing!!Loved how it took me to all the places like Minnisota & Florida ! Great plot! I just wish part two was out I would have already purchased it ! It was one of those reads that you don't want to put down or end & then when it does you are ready for more ! Waiting patiently for book two! I already saw that's its on the way ;) I also think not only a great read for young adults but "Mom" as well & always fun to have a book my daughter & I can both enjoy and TALK about!!
