Somewhere Else

by Sandra Glover

Zan is worried about his sister, Jade, who doesn't seem to recognize family and friends. Even more disturbing, Jade insists she's Janet Bailey; a girl from another time and place. This must be the result of Jade's recent horrific ordeal, musn't it? But if it's Post Traumatic Stress then why are her memories of being Janet so utterly vivid? And will they ever be able to get the real Jade back? An unput-downable chiller about a girl with apparent multiple personalities who must somehow find the courage to face her recent horrific experiences and return to herself.

[Emily Richards · Rating 3 out of 5]

An intriguing, fast-paced read. Glover illustrates one girl's struggles and creative drug-induced coping mechanism with a traumatic incident in her recent past. The girl's brother is ever-faithful and is driven to help her find solace; while her parents despair as their world is flung into frustration and fear that they might have lost the daughter they loved forever.

The breadcrumbs are cleverly scattered throughout the story and it isn't until the final chapter that the truth is revealed.

This book is good... Just good. Characters are quite normal, really. The plot is nice and slightly interesting. But I must say that I was reading the book, I had a lot of expectations about the ending. It could have been a better book if it had a mind blowing ending.
