Acevedo definitely knows how to write fast-paced scenes, giving you a surreal and yet realistic view into this book. I was sucked in within the first few pages, making me flip the pages faster and faster.
Also, general anxiety disorder rep? Please!!Ĭonsider hooked me immediately with it’s fast, abrupt beginning. Why this book?: After witnessing Julia Ember (Author of Unicorn Tracks) read this novel, I just had to get my hands on it. The entire earth’s population is given an ultimatum: enter through the vertexes around the world to the hologram’s world, or die on earth when a comet hits.
“Consider propels people through the anxious, confused, and (at times) humorous thoughts that ricochet through Alex as she struggles to face the apocalypse…an exciting, thought-provoking, hi-def read.While out on a date with her boyfriend Dominick, a mysterious hologram and portal appear in front of the train that Alex and Dominick were riding. I won’t say more about the plot-I’ll leave that to the book itself.” - Judy Sheehan, author of I Woke Up Dead in the Mall “Step by step, we explore a drastically changed world, where we all must consider an invitation to escape the Earth’s doom and join a parallel world. And the breathtaking conclusion will leave you yearning for the second book.” - South Coast Almanac “Measured pacing, captivating relationships, and unexpected plot turns make Consider an exciting debut. “Acevedo gives the reader amazing sci-fi Easter eggs, as well as a roller coaster of a story! Consider will have you searching for the nearest Tardis to time travel to the release date of the sequel!” - Kristine Carlson Asselin, author of Anyway You Slice It “Acevedo has developed a fully realized character whose struggles with anxiety are compounded by the threat of impending destruction…The allure of a better world combined with the deterioration of human behavior in the wake of Earth’s anticipated demise is the perfect way to infuse complex moral issues and deep philosophical questions in a fast-paced adventure that will keep readers compulsively turning pages to see what will happen next…Educators will welcome the opportunities the book presents for deep thinking.” With the deadline of the holograms’ prophecy fast approaching, Alex feels as though she is living on a ticking time bomb, until she discovers it is much, much worse. But without the ability to verify their story, Alex is forced to consider what is best for her friends, her family, and herself. The holograms, claiming to be humans from the future, bring the promise of safety.
They bring an ultimatum: heed the warning and step through a portal-like vortex to safety, or stay and be destroyed by a comet they say is on a collision course with earth. As if Alexandra Lucas’ anxiety disorder isn’t enough, mysterious holograms suddenly appear from the sky, heralding the end of the world.
