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 later, locked in a government facility with no idea what happened.

This book delighted and invigorated me. I didnt expect much from When We Wake. Its not because its YA. Its because its set in Australia.Im totally kidding. Its totally because its YA. Specifically, dystopian YA. Ive been burned enough times by it before. Theres something about the allegory of dystopian fictionThis is probably about a 3.5 star read. Tegan Oglietti is known as the Living Dead Girl. She is given that name because Tegan died in the year 2027, actually she was murdered. But through technology and her prior authorization to donate her body to science, her body was saved through cryogenics and woken up a century later. She is told they have woken her to gain data for a government project to rescue and revive dead soldiers. She is only to happy to help because her father was a mortally
I picked this book up off the shelf because, well, it was shiny. And the cover is so very, very pretty. Creepy, but the colours do look amazing together. At first, I just couldn't get into this book. The premise just seemed too sad.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE MEDIOCRE AVERAGE RATING THIS BOOK HAS BECAUSE IT IS REALLY REALLY GOOD Honestly I did not have high hopes for this book because of it's deja vu Across the Universe storyline but this was actually really good!So, in the year of 2027, Teegan was living the best day of her life. However, that ends abruptly when she gets shot and finds herself 100 years into the future when she wakes up from being cryonically frozen. The world building of When we wake was explored quite
Check out my full review here! http://www.readsbyamanda.com/2013/11/...When We Wake by Karen Healey deals with one person and one person only. Tegan Oglietti. She is telling you her life story. The story of her first life, of her starting to fall in love and going to a protest rally with her friends and the story of her second life, how she was shot on the steps of Parliament during the rally and wakes up a hundred years later as a government experiment.I won't post any spoilers for this book
When We Wake by Karen Healey is set in Melbourne, firstly in the year 2027 and later in the year 2127. In the beginning Tegan Oglietti is sixteen and on her way to a climate change protest, along with her best friend, Alex, and her new boyfriend, Dalmar. But her day doesn't go to plan and she wakes up 100 years later to find out she is the first person to successfully be awakened from a cryogenic state.

Tegan Oglietti was born in Melbourne in 2010. At the age of 16, she's shot and killed. Then she wakes up in 2128, having been the product of a military cryogenics experiment. She struggles to adapt to life in the future, especially when she learns that the experiment may not be as good a thing as she first thinks. Look, this book paints a very bleak view of the future. It's a world in which climate change plays a huge role, a world where Australia is both more diverse and more bigoted than it is
