One unsuspecting afternoon, Allison is roped into a social experiment just off campus. But as she begins her third year in college, she finds it increasingly difficult to disappear into the white noise pouring from her earbuds. Adopted at sixteen, she knows better than to believe in the permanence of anything. For Allison Dennis, all it takes is 180 seconds.Īfter a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm's length. Talk about an emotional roller coaster ride……….Some people live their entire lives without changing their perspective. Then the very next second, you are sobbing! I fell in love with all the characters in this heart breaking but also heart warming story. Jessica puts just the right amount of humor in her writing so you aren’t totally falling apart the whole time and will actually find yourself smiling like an idiot at some parts. 180 SECONDS is going be that book that after you are finished, you are going to want to share it with everyone. She captivated my heart from the very first page and never let it go. Simon won my heart from the very beginning of the story and never loses his love for her or his faith in her as well.Īfter reading 180 SECONDS I’m so excited to read more by Jessica Park. She needed them so badly, as she soon finds out. They are more like sisters and it warmed my heart that Allison had her as well as Simon, the man who adopted Allison, in her life. She grew up in foster care too and has always been a very good friend to Allison. He has torn down her walls and she needs to understand why.Īllison only has one friend in her life, Steffi, and she plays a huge role in 180 SECONDS. The video from the experiment goes viral and Steffi flies out from LA to get her to talk to Esben about what he did to her life. The experiment only lasts for 180 SECONDS and happens to be with Esben Baylor, who is a social media icon, but Allison knows nothing thing about it or him. While she is there, she is approached to do a social experiment that will change her life forever. She is very closed off and always anxious, but somehow she manages to go through the motions of going to college.
Her biological mother and father didn’t want her, they were married to other people.
She blew me and my heart away with the this moving story of Allison Dennis.Īllison grew up in foster care and wasn’t adopted out until she was sixteen. I’ve never read Jessica Park before, but she is now on my auto buy list of authors and I will read everything she writes. What an emotional story that is going to stay with me for a long long time. My emotions were all over the place and my heart broke over and over again. I finished reading it with tears in my eyes, a huge lump in my throat, and a big stupid smile on my face. Holy cow! What a beautiful story 180 SECONDS is.
