As a little girl, Daisy Appleby was killed in a school bus crash. Moments after the accident, she was brought back to life.
A secret government agency has developed a drug called Revive that can bring people back from the dead, and Daisy Appleby, a test subject, has been Revived five times in fifteen years. Daisy takes extraordinary risks, knowing that she can beat death, but each new death also means a new name, a new city, and a new life. When she meets Matt McKean, Daisy begins to question the moral implications of Revive, and as she discovers the agency’s true goals, she realizes she’s at the center of something much larger—and more sinister—than she ever imagined.

This
book immediately drew me in from the start. It had such an interesting
concept to it so I read it almost immediately after I discovered it.
This book was so refreshing for me to read. I have read almost all
dystopian novels lately so it was nice to read one set in our own time
and I could relate to it a little better. Not that I don't LOVE
dystopian novels but it was nice to have a little break.
I am just gonna start off by saying this book was definitely a tear-jerker. I won't spoil anything but there are some very sad parts in this book. These moments are done so well though that it really made me love the book even more. The characters all dealt with trauma in different ways that were so human and real that it made the whole thing so much more believable.
Aside from the sad parts though, this story had a really great plot and characters. I loved the whole concept of being brought back to life after dying. Cat Patrick really showed how being revived many times isn't all its cut out to be like you would assume. Daisy starts to realize this as certain events occur to make her question the drug that brought her back 5 times.
I loved everyone of these characters and don't get me wrong, Matt was as swoon-worthy as ever but there was one character that really stuck out to me. Mason, Daisy's stand in father really turned out to be just a genuinely great character. He understood Daisy's actions and supported her in her decisions. He was always there for her trying his best. I really ended up admiring Mason especially in the end of this book.
You may be wondering, if I seem to love this book so much why is it not rated 5 stars? Here is my answer: the ending went from super-intense what is going to happen next to just blah. After all Daisy has gone through the ending is just not worth it. It isn't until the epilogue that everything is cleared up and everyone's happy again. It just basically was depressing and upsetting. That is the one flaw in this book. But honestly, other than that, this book was absolutely amazing! It is a very quick read and despite the ending it really is a great book and I definitely recommend it!
