Summary(from Goodreads):
   Two days before the start of her junior year, seventeen-year-old Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck and killed—as in blinding light, scenes of her life flashing before her, and then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she’s opening her eyes to find Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to, leaning over her. And even though it isn’t possible, Janelle knows—with every fiber of her being—that Ben has somehow brought her back to life.
   But her reincarnation, and Ben’s possible role in it, is only the first of the puzzles that Janelle must solve. While snooping in her FBI-agent father’s files for clues about her accident, she uncovers a clock that seems to be counting down to something—but to what? And when someone close to Janelle is killed, she can no longer deny what’s right in front of her: Everything that’s happened—the accident, the murder, the countdown clock, Ben’s sudden appearance in her life—points to the end of life as she knows it. And as the clock ticks down, she realizes that if she wants to put a stop to the end of the world, she’s going to need to uncover Ben’s secrets—and keep from falling in love with him in the process.
   From debut author Elizabeth Norris comes this shattering novel of one girl’s fight to save herself, her world, and the one boy she never saw coming.

My Thoughts:
   Wow. Just wow. I'd heard a lot about Unraveling & I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting what I got. I really loved this book!
   It's hard for me to put into words exactly what I thought of this book, but here goes. The pace was good & I adored the storyline. Unraveling was full of romance & tons of action with plenty of twists & turns. This was one of the rare reads where I honestly wasn't sure exactly what would happen next. I loved the characters. Janelle & Ben were my favorites, but I liked Struz, Alex, & Janelle's dad & brother as well. I really liked seeing how Janelle interacted with the different characters; getting to see who she was/had to be & who she wanted to be. The ending was just heart-wrenching. I wasn't xpecting to cry while reading this book, but I did. I really loved Elizabeth's writing style as well.
   In all, I thought Unraveling was a brilliant debut from Elizabeth Norris & I can't wait to read her next book.
