Naomi would have won the coin toss if she had chosen tails. She wouldn't have bumped her head on the stairs and wouldn't have needed to go back for the yearbook camera. She wouldn't have had amnesia and woken up in an ambulance. Without a doubt, she would have recalled Ace, her lover. It's possible that she even recalled her first feelings for him. She would see why Will, her closest friend, refers to her as "Chief." She would be aware of her mother's new family. She would be aware of her father's engagement. She would never have met James, the lad who tells her he once wanted to kiss her, the boy with the dubious past and even fuzzier future. She would not have desired a kiss in return.
But Naomi was a head-picker.
Gabrielle Zevin has written a creative second book about love and second chances, after her outstanding first.
