Summary:
    Casey isn't quite sure how she got to be where she is--NYU student at 17, dating one of the richest and handsomest boys she's ever met--but she's not exactly going to complain. When she starts experiencing flashbacks that can only have come from a past life, Casey has to figure out who she used to be, and what they are asking her to do.

Thoughts: 
    What an overwhelmingly mediocre book. It wasn't awful--there were interesting characters, a cool plot, etc. But I so completely did not care. The protagonist was projectable and not much else, the writing wasn't artistic, and there were some gaps in logic (so many people instantly accepting that the protagonist was getting messages from her past life, for example) that were hard to take. There was momentum in the plot, but not really in character relationships, and everyone fit very neatly into a trope. I had expectations of an archetypal but fun mystery, since that's what Pretty Little Liars was, but I was disappointed. Not a terrible book, but also not a great one.
