Pivot Point- Kasie West

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.





The Review

3 ½ stars

I was kinda bored with this book. I liked the premise of the book and I liked how it was executed… once I got into it. The first few chapters I didn’t understand at first but then I realized what the author was doing and I wasn’t confused anymore.

She seriously chose the wrong department in my opinion. But how she rectified her mistake in the future made sense and she save Laela from dying. So it worked out well in the end.

I loved Trevor so much more than Doug. Trevor didn’t have a hidden agenda when he got together with Addison. Doug did though, he was going to use her and so I decided he was a big pile of crap. I truly expected Trevor to freak out when he found out all she could do, but he didn’t. He trusted Addie. Addie was likable in a way. I thought she played the divorce card way too much. A lot of parents are divorced and their kids don’t always act out. Addie just took the, “Oh my parents are getting a divorce, somebody pity me.” Card way too much.

I felt the story didn’t progress fast enough for me to like it a lot. I do not believe I will be reading this book again. The only reason I’ll read the sequel is to find out if Addie chooses Trevor in the end.
