Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
Narrated by: Julia Whelan, Linda Holmes
First
Go now or you’ll never go, Evvie warned herself. She didn’t want to be there when he got home from work. It was cowardly, yes, but she didn’t relish the whole thing it would turn into, the whole mess. He’d say, not unreasonably, that leaving with no warning at all was a little dramatic. Afer all this time, he would wonder, why now? He wouldn’t know that, today exactly, Evvie had been with him for half her life. She’d figured it out on the back of a grocery receipt a few months earlier, and then she had circled this date on their wall calendar in red. He’d walked by it over and over and never once asked her about it. If she let the day pass, she thought she might start to disappear, cell by cell, bone by bone, replaced by someone who looked like her but wasn’t.

This book is getting lots of buzz. Hope you enjoy it. I’m planning to read it too.
I’m not that far into it but I’m loving it! This is my first book by Holmes but I love her way with words so will be looking for her next book.
Oh this sounds pretty good. I’d keep reading.
I’m enjoying it!
I really liked this one ever though it’s slightly predictable.
From the title and the begining I thought I knew where it was going, but I haven’t gotten far enough into the book yet to know for sure.
Yes, I like the sound of this one.
It’s really good!
I’d keep reading, too. Sounds mysterious!
It’s not very mysterious, but it is quite interesting.
Makes me want to turn the page and read more.
It’s a good one!
