The Other Me







The Other Me by Sarah Zachrich Jeng. New York, Berkley, 339 pages. ****

Kelly, a free-spirited artist living in Chicago, is celebrating her 29th birthday by attending her best friend Linnea's art show. "Sour Grapes isn't a good look" and Kelly is trying very hard to keep a smile on her face and celebrate Linnea's success. Crowded and warm, Kelly begins to feel nausea. She opens the bathroom door to-- "Surprise." Kelly is back in her hometown of Michigan and the guest of honor at her surprise party. Not only has she been transported to another place, but single Kelly is also now married to Eric Hyde, someone she barely knew in high school. Eric senses that something is wrong with Kelly, however, how can she possibly explain what has happened to her and how does she get back to her old life? The bigger question is does she really want to?


Jeng's debut novel will hold you fast and not let go. A new plot twist in time travel with many unexpected subplots. Entertaining and the perfect book to escape into, I read it in two days. If you enjoyed The Midnight Library and the concept of what if? you will want to read this novel. 

Sarah Zachrich Jeng grew up in Michigan and always had a flair for the morbid and mysterious (for her dad’s thirty-fifth birthday, she wrote a story entitled “The Man Who Died at 35”). She had a brief career as an aspiring rock star before she came to her senses and went back to school to become a web developer. Sarah lives in Florida with her family and two extremely hyper rescue dogs. The Other Me is her first novel.
