What do you call the difference between what you should feel and what you do feel? Life?

The blackout has been going on for three weeks. But Alex feels like she’s been living in the dark for a year, ever since her brother, who has autism, was removed from the house, something Alex blames herself for. So when her best friend, Anthony, asks her to trek to another town to figure out the truth about the blackout, Alex says yes.

On a journey that ultimately takes all day and night, Alex’s relationships with Anthony, her brother, and herself will transform in ways that change them all forever.

In this honest and gripping young adult novel, Andrew Simonet spins a propulsive tale about what it means to turn on the lights and look at what’s real.

Review of A Night Twice As Long

Review (4.5 Stars):  This was a very interesting novel and I loved the premise of a mysterious blackout that has been going on for three weeks.  I instantly connected to the main character and I understood the guilt that she was feeling because of what happened to her brother.  A Night Twice As Long was a thought-provoking novel that will definitely stick with you long after you finish the last page.
