"Neverworld Wake is a shape-shifting binge read . . . It's a 'clear your calendar' kind of one-day read, singular as both a psychological thriller and a new addition to Pessl's uncategorizable canon." --Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel World"Beautifully creepy . . . .A mystery within a mystery." --The New York Times"[A]sophisticated novel ... similar to Libba Bray's acclaimed Going Bovine."—VOYA, starred review"Pessl (Special Topics in Calamity Physics) adeptly creates a compelling nightmare world while maintaining a foothold in realism. Thought-provoking and suspenseful." --PW"Unpredictable, exciting, and emotionally wrenching." --SLJ"Pessl manages to keep her first-person narrative moving forward while her characters are stuck in time. An eloquent and haunting tale." --Kirkus Reviews"This novel has ambition to spare, and teens looking for something odd, atmospheric, and twisty will likely be enthralled." --Booklist“A dark and twisty tale brimming with psychological suspense.” —Bustle"An altogether eerie, philosophically challenging exploration of the ways in which our actions have consequences . . . the kind of book you'll tear through and then want to talk about with everyone you know immediately after finishing." -- Nylon" . . . there's a broad range of readers who will find Neverworld a place in which to linger." --The Bulletin of the Center For Children's Books

Didn't realize it was YA when I started reading...I loved Night Film and STICP so naturally I was already on board....in fact, I didn't actually realize it was YA until after I had finished and started reading other folks reviews and I'm still not convinced it is totally YA. It's a great premise and unfolds with a pace that allows that we are a society that has seen Groundhog Day and doesn't labor on the minutiae of the purgatoria of living the same day over and over...so the pace is quite brisk. Some excellent explorations here of guilt and the darker natures of humans: what would YOU do if you had an endless supply of reset buttons at the end of your day? Smart urban (?) fantasy with great characters. Highly recommend...
Spoiler-y Song Selection: Trace the Lines by A Lot Like BirdsAfter letting it set in for a couple of days, I'm landing at a solid 4 stars and sticking with it. I don't know how to really compare this book to anything else I've ever read. I was so immersed in this story and this world that I couldn't pull myself away. I found myself questioning if this was a thing that really happened - what if every time some tragic accident/act of violence happened where only one out of many survived, the survivor was determined by an endless cycle of negotiating and reliving one day until everyone decided whose life was most worth living? I definitely recommend this book. It is a true one-of-a-kind and something that will stick with me for a while. Even if it's a kind of different that you don't end up enjoying, it's worth a shot because it's not a huge time commitment.SPOILERS AHEADI only didn't give it 5 stars because I'm one of those people that hopes that there might be an unhappy or tragic ending in like 9/10 books that I read. I expected Bee to end up committing suicide after she was spared. I was kind of disappointed that she was the one chosen to survive. Most people would be infuriated, but I felt like it could have just ended with them all fading away in the icy water because our main character and narrator hadn't survived. I assumed when Martha disappeared, it was because she was the one who had been saved.
Wow. Officially one of my favorite books this year. Completely unexpected, supremely unpredictable and absolutely crazy! I knew this was some sort of YA mystery-thriller, but I never thought it would take such an astonishing turn. Marisha Pessl takes you on one thrilling ride that knows no bounds. So many crazy twists and turns, every time you think you've figured it out...BAM! Sorry buddy, try again.This story follows protagonist, Beatrice Hartley, who is back in her Rhode Island hometown, attending Emerson college, living with her parents, helping them at their café and nursing her grief after the sudden death of her boyfriend and first love, a year ago at Darrow-Harker School.Beatrice had tried to forget that fateful day, when her boyfriend, Jim, mysteriously died. Everyone ruled it a suicide, but Bea knew that there was no way Jim would opt out and she was also certain that their friends knew more than they let on about that night. Since his death, Bea had completely detached herself from her friends, an elite group that had taken her in even though she came from more humble backgrounds and was not as privileged.That summer, Beatrice receives a very random text from her best friend Whitley, who invites her over to her house (mansion) to hang out just like old times. Beatrice is very tempted to go, because Jim's death is still nagging at her and she needs to know what happened to him in order to put that chapter in her life to rest. She decides to go to and see her friends again, even though her parents think it's a very bad idea.Upon her arrival, the group - consisting of Kipling, Martha, Cannon and Whitley - is slightly surprised she showed up, but quickly accept her with arms wide open that felt a bit...forced. You could sense there is tension and that the dynamic has shifted in the group in the year that's passed, but everyone was trying to act normal. They go out to a concert, and spend the night drinking and dancing without a care in the world. On the drive back home, it is raining heavily, and Whitley, who was driving, loses control of the car and almost collide with a tow truck. After the scare, they get back home drenched in rain and feeling a bit subdued. As they are drying off, they get a knock on the door and an old man speaking in old English introduces himself and tells them..."You're all nearly dead. Wedged between life and death. Time for you has become snagged on a splinter, forming a closed-circuited potentiality called a Neverworld Wake."The rules of this world are explained to them. He informs them that the driver of the tow truck is dead, and that 4 of them will also have to die, and only one can survive. They have to vote who that person will be, and it has to be a unanimous vote. Until they decide, they will be living the same day over and over and over again, in a constant time loop straight out of Groundhog Day. There's only one way to break that loop, during the last 3 minutes of their day, they will be given the chance to make their vote. Until they can reach a consensus, the loop will repeat itself, with the day playing itself out endlessly from the moment they hit the truck. Every day, they will wake up at the exact moment they hit the truck.In that time, they are able to leave, go home, see their families, live their lives normally, until they go to bed, and then they wake up repeating the same cycle, with their loved ones completely oblivious to their plight and no memory of the day before. Every one in the group deals with this news in their own way, some becoming violent, others in denial, Martha trying to study the science behind the Wake phenomena, but Bea...Bea wanted to solve Jim's mysterious death.These loops were insane. I mean, absolutely insane. Think the violence of "A Clockwork Orange" kind of insanity. The group goes into a rampage, stealing, lying, thieving, seducing and turn into absolute monsters. When they all end up collapsing...and we are never sure how much time has passed or how many Wakes they've lived, Bea confronts them and tells them of her need to find out what happened to Jim. Enter Martha, who has figured out how they can move through time and space during the loop. They use that new knowledge to try and find out what really happened that night, and the deceptions and lies begin to reveal themselves, breaking the group apart, then bringing them back together, defeated and desperate.This is where Pessl's true skill shows as she is able to really navigate the readers through all the confusing timelines, clues and complex bits and pieces in a way that was always easy to follow and understand. As we race towards the end, and the true events of that fateful night is revealed to us, we think we have it all figured out and reach acceptance, only for Pessl to pull the rug from under us with another explosive twist.Everything we thought we know, the stereotypes that we set ourselves and other people go out the window. That is one of the many things Pessl tries to convey with this story. I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes from the book that really sums up that thought:"We swear we see each other, but all we are ever able to make out is a tiny porthole view of an ocean. We think we remember the past as it was, but our memories are as fantastic and flimsy as dreams. It's so easy to hate the pretty one, worship the genius, love the rock star, trust the good girl. That's never their only story. We are all anthologies. We are each thousands of pages long, filled with fairy tales and poetry, mysteries and tragedy, forgotten stories in the back no one will ever read."
This is an incredible story! Beautifully written, interesting characters about whom I cared, twisting plot continually surprising me, much wisdom throughout, still I'm not an academic so I fear I don't have the proper terminology/language to adequately describe its appeal. Obviously shorter and less complex than her first two novels, which I love too and have gifted numerous times as presents, but still compelling enough for readers like me who are (much) older than a "young adult." There are so many thought-provoking ideas jammed into this book that you might need two sessions with your book club! So, if you buy this book for your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, nephew, or niece, definitely borrow it off their bookshelf and read it yourself, better yet buy it for your self and let them find it on your bookshelf. And if you end up agreeing with me on how enjoyable a read is, pick up Carlos Ruiz Zafon's first four books which are also "marketed" for young adults but as intriguing as his Cemetery of Forgotten Books tetralogy.
This was a huge waste. The author had a great premise to work with and totally wasted the opportunity. She kept tossing out totally nonsensical stuff. Real people wouldn't act like that. At times it sounded like her characters were on drugs and had forgotten how to think. I hung in there, hoping against hope that there might be a story in there, somewhere. There wasn't. Save your time and money. Get a good book and enjoy.
I didn’t even know this was out there until I was browsing on Amazon, and what a pleasure to find. I adored NIGHT FILM and while this is YA it’s sure to delight anybof Pessl’s fans - dark, creepy, a delightful mystery/thriller full of complexity (actually she could have gone further and I wish she had).I didn’t want to leave this strange world.
