I'm going to do this review a little differently by saying at the beginning that I enjoyed this book far more than I thought I would, based on it's Goodreads rating. Currently it sits at 3.34 average which actually surprises me quite a bit, because it's one more the more unique YA dystopians than I...
I think I quite liked this one. It was certainly different from a lot of what I've read lately and I definitely appreciated that. The story felt new and the main characters were ones I had no problem routing for. It also moved at a good pace which is always a good thing.I also loved that it took pla...
Very interesting. I'm hoping for a sequel. I know there's more to this story that just this novel. Full review to come when it's not 1 o'clock in the am lolRead full review here: http://courtreadsandreviews.blogspot.ca/2013/04/review-yesterday.html
Yesterday by C. K. Kelly Martin was a slightly disappointing read for me. I have heard really good things about this author but I was not overly wowed by this book, though the writing was good and I would still consider checking out her other works.

The book starts in 2071 (or 2073?) and Freya is given an injection and put to sleep. Next, it is 1985 and Freya is in Canada, in a new high school and a new everything...I didn't find this interesting and thus didn't finish it.
I had high hopes for this one but the beginning had me skimming a whole lot. It did pick up for me in the end and I might push this to 2.5 stars based on the shift. Freya is the main character and the prologue opens with her struggling through something that involves her father, mother, and brother...
Set in Ontario, Canada, it was fun to read a book with its setting only hours away. They exist but I rarely have stumbled upon a book set in Canada (hence my love for Kelley Armstrong novels). It gave me a delightful reading experience, which made up for some of the qualms I had about the disjointed...
"Yesterday" was my first read from C.K. Kelly Martin, and it's one of those reads that has a brilliant premise shaping the framework of the story, but the overarching execution leaves much to be desired. I did not like the structuring of the story or the writing in this very much. That's one thing...
