ARC Book Review: All Our Yesterdays – Cristin Terrill


allouryesterdaysAll Our Yesterdays
Author: Cristin Terrill
Series: All Our Yesterdays #1
Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Science Fiction, Dystopian
Release Date: September 3, 2012
Publisher: Disney Hyperion

Goodreads | Amazon | TBD

Summary:

You have to kill him.
Imprisoned in the heart of a secret military base, Em has nothing except the voice of the boy in the cell next door and the list of instructions she finds taped inside the drain.
Only Em can complete the final instruction. She’s tried everything to prevent the creation of a time machine that will tear the world apart. She holds the proof: a list she has never seen before, written in her own hand. Each failed attempt in the past has led her to the same terrible present – imprisoned and tortured by a sadistic man called the doctor while war rages outside.
Marina has loved her best friend James since the day he moved next door when they were children. A gorgeous, introverted science prodigy from one of America’s most famous families, James finally seems to be seeing Marina in a new way, too. But on one disastrous night, James’s life crumbles apart, and with it, Marina’s hopes for their future. Now someone is trying to kill him. Marina will protect James, no matter what. Even if it means opening her eyes to a truth so terrible that she may not survive it…at least not as the girl she once was. Em and Marina are in a race against time that only one of them can win.
All Our Yesterdays is a wrenching, brilliantly plotted story of fierce love, unthinkable sacrifice, and the infinite implications of our every choice.

 
First Sentence: I stare at the drain in the center of the concrete floor.

My Review:

Guys, this book. This book! You must read this said book! I love everything about it: the title, the cover, the story, the execution, the characters, the everything, and I don’t say this lightly. All Our Yesterdays is honestly better than I had expected and I’m so happy that it is.

While reading All Our Yesterdays, I experienced a variety of emotions, ranging from shock to anger, happiness to misery, and conflicted to stunned. There wasn’t a single moment where I was emotionless and bored, counting down the pages until I finished the book. No, while I was reading All Our Yesterdays, I was completely and totally invested in it.

Instead, I tiptoe to the second window and peer inside.
What I see stops my heart. (ARC 146)

I like how Cristin Terrill didn’t explain everything in the first half of the book and left us, the reader, to figure things out ourselves: What had happened, what’s the situation now, who we should trust, and who plays what part in the story. The way Cristin Terill executed her book made the story more exciting and it continuingly kept me guessing, trying to figure out what was what and what had happened when.

However, I can see every single plot twist Cristin Terrill had thrown at me coming. Surprisingly, even though I easily predicted a variety of plot twists in All Our Yesterdays, it did not effect my enjoyment of the book in any way whatsoever. Sure, I already knew everything that was going to happen, but the way Cristin Terrill executed it managed to catch my attention and keep it in a way without boring me or slowing the book down.

“I’ve been thinking about that,” I say. “We need to be there for January fourth. Four years ago.”
Silence.
“Really?” (ARC 17)

I also love Cristin Terill’s version of time traveling. Her idea was unique and have never been done before. In addition, All Our Yesterday‘s version of time travel is different than all the other time traveling books I’ve read before – in All Our Yesterdays, time traveling is not actually linear as people think. That, however, will cause tons of paradoxes in time. To prevent paradoxes in time, time freezes certain events to prevent them from being changed. I know this all sounds confusing, but when you read the actual book, it all makes sense.

“How do you get back to your time?” Connor asks.
Finn glances at me before answering. “We don’t.” (ARC 64)

So guys, listen to me: When All Our Yesterdays is released in September, get your hands on it asap. It is that good. I will definitely be stalking Barnes & Noble for it until it’s up on the shelves.

I also don’t have to say that I will definitely recommend it to everyone, right?

Before I end my review, I have to say this: I love Finn. Where can I find someone like him?

    So many people have loved this book, so I am definitely excited to read it when it’s released. I’m really intrigued by the take on time travelling, it’s nice to see an original twist on something that’s been done a lot before. And I love it when an author leaves you to figure out details for yourself. Great review! :)

    I’d heard of this book before, but never really gave it a second look until now. And I’m SO glad I did, because based on your review, it sounds like something I’d absolutely adore! I love the fact that the author leaves so much unsaid as the book progresses and leaves the reader to wonder and question things. Nothing draws me in more than a mystery I can puzzle over as I read–it makes reading more suspenseful and exciting! Those always end up being my favorite kind of books too :)
    And also, time traveling. I LOVE it! Always had a fascination with time travel, so I love to see a well-executed story with it involved :D

    Oh, this sounds so good. And when I read that the author leaves us to figure things out for ourselves, even better. I love that kind of book/writing. It makes everything so exciting and it allows our imagination to just try to come up with theories. The best part of those moments is when you find the truth… I’ve made a full of myself several times with that :P

    Amazing review. It makes me want to read the book even more ^_^

    Oh my gosh, I read this book just a couple of days ago, and it was AMAZING. I definitely agree that it was completely and utterly unique. The characters were all so well developed, and I loved the flashback type things in between. And same- I literally predicted every twist, but it was so weird how that didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book at all!
    Lovely review Kelly :)

    I haven’t read many Time Travel books but that doesn’t mean I don’t like them ! Its infact the opposite. I love time travel books but some times if not written properly it ends being confusing so generally I pick a time travel book and if I like it I read and if its just going over my head, I don’t bother reading the rest. I don’t know if I’ll like ‘All our Yesterdays’ or not but you review has piqued my interest in this book. So I am willing to give this book a try! I am hoping to love this book as much as you did! (Haven’t read many good titles this year, So I am rather praying this one turns out good or amazing!)

    So glad to hear you loved this book! I’ve had an ARC of it sitting on my bookshelf for the past two months but have been forcing myself to wait until closer to the release date before I read and review it. It sounds AMAZING!! I may just have to lose all sense of self control and start it this weekend ;)

    I love it when authors put a twist on time travelling. I like to read new interpretations of it :D
    And I love it when authors withhold information, and just leave you guessing. I think it makes it more interesting to read a book that has you questioning things, rather than have a book that gives you the answers to all your questions straight away.
    I have this book waiting for review, so I am super happy that you think it’s so good!

    I love this review and I seriously can’t wait for this book to come out! I adore anything that has to do with time travel, and how little details and aspects of it are varying when told in different stories, so from your description, it really sounds like something I’ll enjoy. Just over a month and then hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on it and see for myself :D

    Books like this that stirs so many emotions can be very good. Not a lot of authors have that unique talent to cause the reader to truly experience those variety of emotions. I had thought about reading this but I wasn’t sure it would be worth my time but now I am definitely putting it on my wish list..

    I know that is not meaningful or relevant at all but you must understand that I love watermelon.
    Anyways, I’ve been hearing so much about this book. I was so close to buying it last time I was at Barnes and Noble but back then I didn’t really know what it was about or how good it was.
    Now I wish I had gotten it!
    I love book that make me react and sci-fi/time travel is totally my cup of coffee. (I know the saying is tea but I don’t actually like tea)
    Thanks for the review! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll be sure to buy this next time!

    I’ve been wanting this book ever since I read the synopsis, it sounds so awesome and the rave reviews definitely makes me want it more. I love the points you bring up; the author just thrusts the reader into this new world and the tumult of emotions. It sucks that every twist can be seen but it says a lot of good about a book that can still be highly enjoyable despite it’s predictability. Also, Finn, I adore that name and I think I’ll set out to read all books that feature it. :D
