Second Glance; because love simply looks better the second time around.

One word: Riveting.

The story revolves around a ghost-like man falling in love with a real ghost, with the disturbing touch of the eugenics history way back in 1926-1932, and how this man along with his companions solve the uncased close. And how he finally sighs and waits for a brighter tomorrow; with a twist previous to it, and ahead.

Ross Wakeman, a currently hired paranormal investigator, killed himself thrice and constantly failed. Now he wastes his time looking for something our pair of eyes couldn’t see: a ghost. He didn’t want any random poltergeist; however, he only does this crazy thing, without any hope in his quest, to find her late fiancée Aimee (after the accident they were involved). Meanwhile, an Abenaki group protest about a vast piece of land in Comtosook is being done, and there is a belief there’s a ghost haunting the place. While Ross is hired to stop a ghost, she meets Lia, who sparks her for the first time in his life, well, after the devastating accident. And that’s when things screw up and everything falls apart. And they start mending its way to a better stitch.

I love how the plot goes. Mrs. Jodi Picoult made me read in a rush, not because I’m bored, but because every chapter ends with a thrill. Also, I love how I can read a book about investigating, with a spellbinding touch of romance. After making a heavy sigh, I contemplated many things in my head that anyone, I guess, can relate to. I love how every character here is a hero, from an antagonist to the main character, and how their burden can affect others’ lives in a way or another.

I personally adore Shelby and Eli as they can make my blood rush and how their meet up ends in a happily ever after. Also, I knew from the start that Ross will find his saving grace, but I will keep the details a secret for the sake of someone reading this, and how he doesn’t want to be spoiled about it. And Ethan and Lucy! Oh my, they make a good build up in the future. And this book gave me striking speech marks that I find quotable.

Second Glance, all in all, shows us that anything is possible as you believe in fate and love. If fate is not strong enough, love is unbreakable. Things don’t happen for any reason at all.

Thank you so much, Mrs. Picoult, for sharing us a book worth priceless. You make my burden much lighter by this. And I express my deepest gratitude to Lanie as she gave me this book.
