Throughout her whole life, Melina Marquez has had a lot of unanswered questions.
She’s wondered why her father left. She’s wondered why she isn’t happy. And for years, she’s wondered who her birth mother is.
The summer before she starts college, she goes on a road trip with her friends to learn the truth about her past. But the truth can hurt as a secret from Melina’s past is revealed, changing everything.
Written by Ajay Joseph, Impulse is a story about one girl’s search for closure and strength when everything goes black.
This book had a lot of shock factor but remained very flat. If we look past the poor editing, and bizarre wording of most sentences, with the constant reminder of how we should feel, its a shallow teen drama that lacks any real drama. I felt the conversations served no purpose between characters and lacked depth. Thats really all it comes down to, a lack of substance, a lack of purpose. weird reveals with no real build up. the book seems hastily put together, like a sketch of an idea, but it seems the author didn't re read his own work. would not recommend.
