Knowing the outcome doesn’t always make a choice easier . . .
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—her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the “Norms,” or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. 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.
In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback’s girlfriend. When Addie’s father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she’s unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. 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.
(Summary from Goodreads)This book.
This is one of those books where you keep telling yourself "just one more chapter" then next thing you know it's 1:30 in the morning and you're sitting in your bed crying because it's over.
Pivot Point has one of the most original and beautifully crafted plot-lines I've read within the paranormal genre. The way the two potential futures progress and eventually intertwine was so well thought out, and I could literally not stop reading.
Although Pivot Point is a sci-fi/paranormal novel, it is very much character and relationship driven and reads like a contemporary book. The only way I can really describe it is that this book is what I would imagine a contemporary novel would be like if you actually lived within a paranormal world.
The main character, Addie, was realistic and really likable. I absolutely loved her friendship with Laila, especially the hilarious dialogue between the two. The two love interests, Duke and Trevor, both had really well developed relationships with Addie, but in the end it was definitely Trevor that won my heart.
The only complaint I have about this book is the ending. And only because it so cruelly played with my emotions.
The last 50 pages or so really picked up in intensity and had my emotions running wild to the point where I was on the verge of simultaneously crying and squealing. Basically, I need the next book now.
