A neat little box wrapped in a bouncy red ribbon. This book has shown me how utterly childish I was to think young adult books can’t be as powerful as other books. Em and Marina are in a race against time that only one of them can win. Even if it means opening her eyes to a truth so terrible that she may not survive it… at least, not as the girl she once was. Marina will protect James, no matter what. But on one disastrous night, James’s life crumbles, and with it, Marina’s hopes for their future. ![]() A gorgeous, introverted science prodigy from one of America’s most famous families, James finally seems to be seeing Marina in a new way, too. Marina has loved her best friend, James, since they were children. Each failed attempt in the past has led her to the same terrible present-imprisoned and tortured by a sadistic man called the doctor while war rages outside. She holds the proof: a list she has never seen before, written in her own hand. She’s tried everything to prevent the creation of a time machine that will tear the world apart. Only Em can complete the final instruction. Imprisoned in the heart of a secret military base, Em has nothing except the voice of the boy in the cell next door and the list of instructions she finds taped inside the drain. ![]()
