About the author

Jax Abbott knows a lot about moving to new schools: she’d attended thirteen different schools by the time she graduated from high school. After college and graduate school, she worked for a while in the real world before realizing that all those years of people telling her “Oh, Grow Up” had to mean something. So she started writing books for teens.

I get that this is a teenage story (I'm 32), but my god Jessie was annoying.
the plot was fine, but why would her boyfriend first ask her to help lift the car if he's going to get all weird about it?

LOVE this 2nd superhero YA book! The heroine rocks! :)

This one was fun, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. Jessie's ramblings were really getting on my nerves. And that orthodontist! What a freak! I'm really not sure why that whole character was even needed in the book.
