Karen Healey

   When We Wake Giveaway





My name is Tegan Oglietti, and on the last day of my first lifetime, I was so, so happy. 

Sixteen-year-old Tegan is just like every other girl living in 2027--she's happiest when playing the guitar, she's falling in love for the first time, and she's joining her friends to protest the wrongs of the world: environmental collapse, social discrimination, and political injustice.

But on what should have been the best day of Tegan's life, she dies--and wakes up a hundred years in the future, locked in a government facility with no idea what happened.

Tegan is the first government guinea pig to be cryonically frozen and successfully revived, which makes her an instant celebrity--even though all she wants to do is try to rebuild some semblance of a normal life. But the future isn't all she hoped it would be, and when appalling secrets come to light, Tegan must make a choice: Does she keep her head down and survive, or fight for a better future?

Award-winning author Karen Healey has created a haunting, cautionary tale of an inspiring protagonist living in a not-so-distant future that could easily be our own.

    I'm looking forward to reading about how and why Tegan was cryogenically frozen. I think the idea is both fascinating and bizarre, so it would be interesting to read about. :) Thank you for the giveaway!

    I was a huge fan of her first book, Guardian of the Dead! I bet this one will be even better.

    I'm looking forward to why this is so intriguing to me. <3

  1. I want to see the dystopian worldbuilding in this novel; the summary sounds very interesting :)

  1. I want to find out why it was Tegan who was frozen, and I do love a good dystopian ;)

  1. This looks like it might bring on the waterworks. I love timetravel fics, because people go to far off place, but this is harder. This is a 16 yo girl waking up in the future with no friends or family and no maybe of getting back to her own time. It's a different dynamic than I'm used to seeing, so I'm really intrigued.

  1. I love reading dystopian. and this sounds interesting.

    I can't wait to see how Tegan deals with finding out that she is 100 years in the future. And I am also curious to see how she ended up cryogenically frozen in the first place.

    What happens next? Was all I was thinking as I read the summary of this book. I want to read what happens when she wakes up in such a different atmosphere. I also like reading about other people's ideas of a potential future. I want to read it.

  1. I actually got to read this book as a touring ARC and LOVED it, so I'd love to have a copy on my shelf! The least spoilery thing I can say that I loved and look forward to seeing again is all the chapter titles, since they're Beatles songs!

  1. I'm looking forward to see how this book approaches technological advances. From what I've heard, it's really well-done and reasonable.
