Review: Life Unaware - Cole Gibsen

Review: Life Unaware - Cole Gibsen - April 2015


Reagan Flay has spent her whole life trying to be perfect and the best at everything, always making sure things go her way and presenting this image of someone who has everything under control especially as she is always under the scrutiny of her mother who is a politician. The thing though is Reagan underneath isn't a nice person and has done awful things to stay on top of things. In a way, her character reminded me of Regina George with her "burn book" and the need to dig dirt on others so she can always have the upper hand. The thing though is that what goes up, must come down and Reagan is about to have her perfect image exploded when she walks into a school and finds her texts, emails, and private conversations she has had about people plastered all over the school. In a split moment, Reagan has gone from popular to outcast as her true colors are revealed. However, is this the wake-up call that Reagan needed as she has a dark secret too - she takes pills for her panic attacks? This was a good read, as I feel like there is a Reagan in every school, workplace and after reading this I wondered what would happen if every bad word you ever said about people was exposed - would you have a blank slate or a long rap sheet of offenses? After reading this, it made me think too how powerful words are, and would you be comfortable with what you said going public? Life Unaware by Cole Gibsen brings that old saying to light "If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all".
