Goodreads Synopsis:
Contemporary
teen fiction with romance, secrets, scandals, and ESP from the author of Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't
Have).
We weren't always like this. We used to be averageNew York City
high school sophomores. Until our homeroom went for flu shots. We were prepared
for some side effects. Maybe a headache. Maybe a sore arm. We definitely didn't
expect to get telepathic powers. But suddenly we could hear what everyone was
thinking. Our friends. Our parents. Our crushes. Now we all know that Tess is
in love with her best friend, Teddy. That Mackenzie cheated on Cooper. That,
um, Nurse Carmichael used to be a stripper.
Since we've kept our freakish skill a secret, we can sit next to the class brainiac and ace our tests. We can dump our boyfriends right before they dump us. We know what our friends really think of our jeans, our breath, our new bangs. We always know what's coming. Some of us will thrive. Some of us will crack. None of us will ever be the same.
So stop obsessing about your ex. We're always listening.
"Smart and frequently hilarious." --Publishers Weekly, starred
“Hilarious, moving, and utterly ingenious.” —Robin Wasserman, author of The Book of Blood and Shadow and The Waking Dark
“Sarah Mlynowski does it again with a fresh, fun, and fabulous story filled with secrets, surprises, and a sixth sense. Don’t even THINK about passing up this hilarious read!” —Elizabeth Eulberg, author of The Lonely Hearts Club
“Finally, someone understands that if you develop powers as a teenager, it’s not the government you have to watch out for—it’s your best friends. Funny, realistic, heartfelt, satiric, and unpredictable.” —Ned Vizzini, New York Times bestselling author of It’s Kind of a Funny Story.

My Thoughts:
The Cover: The
cover is kinda flirty and fun looking. Bright colors and pretty girls
definitely say this book is going to be good, so read it. You know you want to.
Definitely say Young Adult.
The Plot: I think the plot was well done. The story builds really
well, getting into things very quickly. Typical teenage drama-school,
friendships, relationships, home life, but add in a twist, say telepathy, and
things start to get interesting.
Well, for a while
anyway. I found this one just didn’t hold my interest. There was nothing bad
about it; it just got boring-to me. I can’t say exactly what it was. Maybe just
that it was definitely teen drama.
Characters: All
of the main characters were well defined. Each had their own personality and
flaws that made this story realistic. I have to say McKenzie and Cooper were my
favorites, even though she was extremely outspoken and mostly mean, even to her
friends. I think she learned the most throughout this story.
Is it Worth Reading ?: Well, if I wasn’t reviewing this one, I probably would not
have finished it. But that being said, it was not a bad book and might hold the
interest of a younger reader. I give it
3/5 purple crossbows.
