Jess wants to study music. She's a wonderful singer. And so a chance encounter with Jack, who needs a singer for his band, is exactly the happenstance she'd hoped for. Even better that Jack is so charming and handsome and charismatic. And still better that he feels the same way about attraction to her. How lucky can a girl get? Jack believes in luck. In fact, he lives his life by it. He doesn't do a thing unless his coin says he can. Newly in love, Jess is slowly drawn into his game of chance. Although it worries her a little, she can't know that a time will come when the toss of a coin is the difference between life and death.
But we know. We see Jess and Jack from a lofty position. We know the outcomes of their various choices. We can even choose for them...
If you like the look of ''Wasted'', you might also enjoy the equally leftfield [[Jacoby's Game by Alison Prince]]. [[Being by Kevin Brooks]] is more in the sci-fi line, but it has a fascinating look at free will versus determinism.
