We didn’t like double reviews and in those days I often only had time to read the book I was reviewing for that week.Īnyway, it was kind of a disappointment, I’m not going to lie. It was yet another of those books that came through the bookstore where I worked, but someone else snapped it up and reviewed it before I got the chance. I had been waiting to read this book for a long time.

When Spider is caught by the police, Jem doesn’t know for sure that she will see him again–can love bring them back together? She and her friend Spider steal cars to outrun the police, heading for a beach and a new life–except Jem knows Spider’s number too, and his clock is ticking.

So when she sees so many people with the same number waiting in line to go on the London Eye, she knows something is about to happen, and she runs. The number, she’s worked out, is the day that they’re going to die. Every time Jem looks someone in the eye, she sees their special number.
