The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Tamara Goodwin, 16, lived in a 7,000-square-foot, six-bedroom mansion, complete with a swimming pool, tennis court, a private beach in Killiney, Ireland. That is, she did live there until her father committed suicide and Tamara and her mom discovered they were bankrupt. Needing a home, they moved to the middle of nowhere with Tamara's aunt, Rosaleen and uncle, Arthur - the Deliverance Duo - as Tamara calls them. Her mom, once settled in, seems to go into a dark depression and barely stirs from her bed, while her aunt is acting rather strange and seems to be hiding something. The house they live in is the gatehouse that once protected the side entrance to Kilsaney Castle, built sometime between 1100 and 1200. Tamara is drawn to the rundown castle and the secrets it hides.

When a traveling library stops at the gatehouse one day, by mistake, she unconcernedly hops aboard and finds a leather-bound book and takes it back to the gatehouse. After prying open the lock, Tamara, sees her own handwriting - but dated for the next day. Can she change the series of events, happening around the castle, before they unfold?
