The last thing Louise Doors remembers is collapsing on her way home from a gig and a boy trying to save her life. Now, six days later, she’s woken up. But she’s not in the hospital, she’s at home, and it seems her life has gone on without her, except everything is messed up. Her best friends hate her, she’s hanging out with a girl she barely knows, and a boy called Dylan wants to meet up to give her a letter. As it turns out, Dylan isn’t just any boy, either, he’s the guy who tried to save her life.
Soon Louise will find out exactly what’s been going on in her absence because those Missing Days are happening again, only in reverse. While each day brings surprising revelations about her family and her friends, Louise draws closer to Dylan, hoping he can help her get her proper life back. But she hadn’t expected to fall in love, nor that these six days might be all she has left. After years of conforming to other people’s expectations, Louise finally has the chance to be true to herself—but only if she can reach out and grab it.

MY THOUGHTS
*Thanks to Netgalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review*
Never heard about this book before, but the title and description intrigued me. Finally, Finally, Netgalley agreed to approve me this copy, I am not sure but maybe after a year, I got an eARC from Netgalley.
My backward story is about, Lousie who slept on Friday night and woke up on Thursday morning, missing 6 days of her life. The stranger thing is that no one realises that. Everything took a turn of 360. Her parents are getting divorced, her friends are turned against her. She suddenly got a kinda boyfriend and a friend. Everything got more complicated when the next day she realized that her life is going backwards.
The concept of the story was fun, timelines weren’t confusing, character development was good, pace of the story was good. It was writing which didn’t go well with me. Though I enjoyed the book.
