Past Perfect Life by Elizabeth Eulberg
When I first stumbled upon the book Past Perfect Life by Elizabeth Eulberg in our local Blue Willow Bookshop here in Houston, Tx, I was immediately drawn to the cover. It showed a once perfect house through the stages of disaster and ultimately crumbling to pieces. I immediately related to it (just by looking at the cover) due to the loss of my home that I lived in for fifteen years during hurricane Harvey. Now, this book doesn't depict any natural disasters, but I wanted to share this experience with everyone to emphasize the power of a great book. To be able to look at the cover and (without even knowing what the book is actually about) already have an immediate connection is such a powerful thing.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you suddenly found out that everything about your life that you thought you knew, was a complete lie? Well, that is exactly what Allison Smith has to deal with, when she finds out that her dad actually kidnapped her when she was just three years old and that her real name is Amanda Lindsley. With her world turning upside down in the middle of her senior year, and having to meet and get to know a family that is nothing like her, as well as the possibility of having to leave her friends behind as well as the boy that she likes, she is understandably overwhelmed.
I don't want to say too much and give too much away, but this is definitely my favorite book that I have read so far in the year of 2020 and I really hope that I can eventually see it brought to life. If you enjoy stories with family drama and twists and turns, then this is definitely the book for you. There are very few books that I have read in my life that I would enjoy rereading and this absolutely one of them. The storyline is amazing and full of highs and lows. You really develop a connection to the main character and the struggles that she is facing.
