Synopsis

What if finding her means losing himself?

Seventeen-year-old Bo has always had delusions that he can travel through time. When he was ten, Bo claimed to have witnessed the Titanic hit an iceberg, and at fifteen, he found himself on a Civil War battlefield, horrified by the bodies surrounding him. So when his concerned parents send him to a school for troubled youth, Bo assumes he knows the truth: that he's actually attending Berkshire Academy, a school for kids who, like Bo, have "superpowers."

At Berkshire, Bo falls in love with Sofia, a quiet girl with a tragic past and the superpower of invisibility. Sofia helps Bo open up in a way he never has before. In turn, Bo provides comfort to Sofia, who lost her mother and two sisters at a very young age.

But even the strength of their love isn't enough to help Sofia escape her deep depression. After she commits suicide, Bo is convinced that she's not actually dead. He believes that she's stuck somewhere in time—that he somehow left her in the past, and now it's his job to save her.

Time won’t let me change it. I am, at best, an observer. I cannot rewrite history. I just... can't rate this any higher. I want to. The premise is fascinating and I loved Revis' Across the Universe.

The writing and premise were both excellent, while the execution fell short. When I really thought about it..where could the story really go? We have Bo who thinks he can travel through time and believes he attends a school for kids with superpowers. The truth? He attends Berkshire Academy for Child......more

I want to say that this book is stunning in a powerful way, because it is of striking beauty & excellence, as well as efficacious & mighty; but because I hear these descriptors so often, I'm afraid they're almost a cliche. I'll simply say: read this book, please.......more

4.5 stars A World Without You is one of those books that invades your every thought, controls your every breath and breaks your heart, only to rebuild it as the better, stronger version of itself. In this genre-bending gem of a book, Revis explores mental illness, loss and guilt that lead to never be......more
