Against the Current
This wasn't tomorrow. It was yesterday. Ari had fallen asleep on Wednesday, and woken up on Tuesday.
Against the Current is the story of Ari Callaghan, a boy from North Dakota who wakes up one morning to find himself a week in the future and traveling back into the past, against the current of time, day by day. Everything he does on one day is undone the next morning. Scrapes and bruises are healed. Conversations are forgotten. A bank robbery that was in the paper one day is still waiting to happen on the next.
Ari has no memory of the days he is reliving, but they seem to be leading to a confrontation. With each passing day, the mystery deepens. Ari must try to remember the past that has forgotten him, even as he plunges uncertainly into it.

This book was amazing all the way through! How it all fits together is ingenious!
My favorite part of this book is when Ari goes back to talk with Lydia on Thursday and is joking around about the 'mysteriously dissapearing paper' and 'what his favorite jam is'.
This is one of the best time traveling books I have ever read. And will probably be the best I will ever read. Lol!
What an awesome read! This is one of those books that makes you think that no one else could have ever thought of a plot to compare with it. It was amazing to say the very least.
