The Locket Stacey Jay Books Reviews

Originally posted at arielavalon.com

Katie and Issac have been going out for three years. One night Katie is feeling particularly neglected by her boyfriend and makes the mistake of kissing their best friend Mitch. Someone saw, told Issac and on their anniversary he dumps her and leaves her miles from her home to walk back in the rain. While she had been getting ready for their date, Katie borrowed a locket from her grandmother and chose to wear it. While she is walking home, feeling awful about things, she wishes that she could go back in time by two weeks and never kiss Mitch to begin with. The locket burns her skin and she opens her eyes back on the night of the dreaded kiss. She has the chance to fix her mistake, but changing her past is messing with her future and she isnt positive she can ever fix it.

This story was wonderful. I love the concept and the locket and how cruel it often was. The characters were nice too. I was left wondering about some of the things that happened in the alternate reality and if they had actually happened in the real reality or not, but it doesnt really matter if any of the things really happened, they helped Katie to grow.

Watching Katie and Mitch together was wonderful. I loved seeing how they were meant to be together. The wedding scene really sealed it for me. Mitch was so wise about things. The end of the last time travel is heartbreaking. I cried and cried.

I expected the ending. I was wishing for it really. I think I cried harder from getting my wish than I had from the sorrow of the last time travel.

This is a really hard book to talk about without spoiling it completely. I will say, that I shouldve read this book months and months and months ago when I bought it for my kindle on sale instead of waiting all this time ignoring this perfect story.
I thought this story was completly different from what I read, not to mention comparing to the previous Stacey Jay's novels I read. Here we don't have death or magical creatures. It's all about friendship, betrayal, love... and mystery ! I can't just reduce The Locket to these themes so here we go with my review !

What I love about Stacey's writing, and with great novels in general, is that you can usually climb into the main character's skin. With The Locket it was easy, fun and intense. I loved Katie and could relate with her lack of confidence for instance. It was also one of those stories where I mostly disagreed with the main character. Though, I understood her and what she was experiencing (Yeah, you can understand how worried someone can be because a magical locket is turning your life upside down !), I was also questionning myself because of the choices Katie had to make. Was it a good idea to wish for a second chance instead of cleaning up the mess? What would I do if I could fix one of my mistakes? Is it okay to be a little selfish when your friends' lives depend on what you do and how you act ? During her journey as the life she knew is partially changing, Katie realizes she should be careful about what she wants. And maybe what she wants is not what she really needs.

Regarding the other characters, you won't be disappointed ! You will have someone to hate, someone to laugh with, someone you will want to be friend with... Of course, there is the book boyfriend ! Actually, you could say there are two options but I quickly made up my mind about who I prefered. Should I say on which team I am? Because for me, it was obvious ! But like I said earlier, Katie's choices wouldn't have been mine. I disagreed with what the main character did but I also understood how she felt.

Now, the end ! I can't give you details but I can talk about how I was moved by this conclusion. Because until the last for pages, you don't know how it will end. I cried like a baby, my heart and my eyes didn't want to believe what I was reading. It was amazing and I got carried away so easily. The end was perfect, right and moving.

I'm never disappointed with Stacey Jay's novels and with The Locket I wanted to read more of Stacey Jay's books !
Bought the book for my daughter and she couldn't put it down and has talked me into reading it thats how much she enjoyed it.
