I just finished reading Allison Winn Scotch's new book, The One That I Want and absolutely loved it! I know we all have loads of books on our TBR pile and so many more titles on our to-buy list but I think this one deserves some extra attention so if you're at the bookstore soon, I hope you'll pick it up. It's fantastic. Very entertaining and so insightful. I got totally hooked into the story from the beginning.
What if you woke up one day to all your dreams coming true...but those dreams were more like nightmares?
Tilly Farmer is thirty-two years old and has the perfect life she always dreamed of: married to her high school sweetheart, working as a school guidance counselor, trying for a baby. Perfect.
But one sweltering afternoon at the local fair, everything changes. Tilly wanders into a fortune teller's tent and meets an old childhood friend, who offers her more than just a reading. "I'm giving you the gift of clarity," her friend says. "It's what I always thought you needed." And soon enough, Tilly starts seeing things: her alcoholic father relapsing, staggering out of a bar with his car keys in hand; her husband uprooting their happy, stable life, a packed U-Haul in their driveway. And even more disturbing, these visions start coming true. Suddenly Tilly's perfect life, so meticulously mapped out, seems to be crumbling around her. And as she furiously races to keep up with - and hopefully change - her destiny, she faces the question: Which life does she want? The one she's carefully nursed for decades, or the one she never considered possible?I'm giving away two copies of Allison's book! Just respond here to the following questions and I'll pick two winners in a few days.
What if you could see into the future? Would you want to know what fate has in store?
And if you get a chance, do stop by Allison's website (http://www.allisonwinn.com/ask-allison/) and check out the cool contest she's hosting in conjunction with her literary agent, Elizabeth Weed. I think it will interest all aspiring writers since Elizabeth has generously agreed to accept submissions and read all of them as part of Allison's contest! Good luck!
