In an Instant

Product Information

This book was inspired by an event in the author’s life when she was only eight. How an adult, someone she considered almost family, handled the situation is eerily close to one of the character’s actions and gave me even more food for thought. What are the events that shape us, even the most fleeting? This is such a tear jerking, heartfelt story which shakes you to the core and those characters’ stories stay with you forever.

A horrendous accident, Finn is killed instantly and from there the real story begins as each character makes their choices. Both action and inaction are a choice and so we see who each person is and what they will become. Kim Rok Soo watches Cale Henituse* from the corner of his eyes, wincing at the raw panic on his young face. He understands. He barely knows what is going on either, but the fact that the whole Henituse family is involved doesn't sit right with him. The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent. The aftermath offers a truly unique perspective, as Finn is able to float between scenarios and people. Not only can she see how they are all dealing with trying to move on, but she also witnesses the consequences of their decisions in a horrendous situation. There is some minor mundane stuff that happens like watching baseball games, rescuing kittens…to help them get through their grief. There were hard parts to get through, but there were also cheesy parts. Overall, I really enjoyed it though I would definitely classify this as a young adult novel.He said, in perfect Western language. He never even realizes he misses how the vocals roll off his tongue. Kim Rok Soo rubs his head. It seems that his prediction is correct. Side B is full of people from the doomed world, the world [The Birth of a Hero] didn't describe, the world Kim Rok Soo had abandoned because all hope had been lost, a long time ago. Except, apparently, 20 years before his own end.

When I reach the half of it: I put my book down and start crying: I cried for the dead characters, I cried for the ones stumbling between life and death who lost their sanity after the tragic accident, I cried for the characters who suffered to move on and punished themselves with self flagellation! This book is something so intense, raw and realistic that crushes your soul more than three times a regular poignant story can manage. this book set me on edge when it opened with a car accident. no one was injured, but it triggered memories of when my dad and i were in a car accident, and i just didn’t get off to a good start. then the story progressed and got worse and worse—more and more upsetting. Maryse: WHAT I’M CURRENTLY READING UPDATE!! Who wants to read a really awesome book (at least so far – I’m at 30%)? I just started it, read the blurb, was intrigued, received a few “MUST READ IT!!!” recommendations and I dunno what I was expecting but HOLY MOLY this was not it… and I’m HOOKED!!! It already made me gasp out loud and it’s SO much better than what I was anticipating (it’s not a thriller, it’s listed in women’s fiction & women’s romance – but it’s freaked me out!!). A tight-nit family along with a few friends go on their annual trip to a secluded cabin that has been passed down for generations. Along the way, they swerve to miss hitting a deer. This instant changes their lives forever and their camper falls below the guardrails on the side of a mountain into the snow. Finn, a sixteen year old, is immediately dead, but does not pass through to her next world. She continues to watch her family through survival, rescue, guilt, and grief. Tasha J: In an Instant. I stayed up until 2:30am and got to 64%!! It’s definitely the kind of book you just don’t want to put down and I’m feel all kinds of emotions toward the characters.Tasha J: Kindle Firsts are here! I actually got something other than a thriller and went with In an Instant. It sounds amazing and I’m really in the mood for it Choi Han seems to be thinking of something, before snapping his gaze up to meet with Kim Rok Soo's again. What happens when you go from never really thinking about your life to suddenly realizing every decision you make could be the difference between life and death for you or someone you love? Where would your priorities lie, and who would you show preference to if danger was at your door? What lengths would you go to, to save yourself or your family?

Thought-provoking and heart-wrenching, In An Instant, is an amazing story of tragedy, survival, family, and the power of love. i understand the desire to realistically portray tragedy, loss, and spiralling grief, but this book just really didn’t sit well with me. a lot of it has to do with the way oz’s death was handled. for a long while, it felt like the book was trying to convince us that the man behind his death was somehow making a complex, difficult, and nuanced decision for survival purposes—when in reality, it was bigotry and murder (or “negligent homicide”), plain and simple. What follows is a harrowing and atmospheric tale as the other occupants try to figure out how to survive in a blizzard, how to get help without cell reception...and, ultimately, how to move forward after the accident. Finn, in some sort of limbo, watches it all.Though Kim Rok Soo has to admit, even without it, side A is still unquestionably, undeniably stronger than side B. Life is over in an instant for sixteen-year-old Finn Miller when a devastating car accident tumbles her and ten others over the side of a mountain. Suspended between worlds, she watches helplessly as those she loves struggle to survive.
