Super powers. A cute guy. A world she knows nothing about. And she's only been in town for a few days. Sixteen-year-old Leven Hollo and her father move across the country every few months, making her the perpetual new girl at school. All she wants is a normal life, one where her father lets her get a driver's license and a chance to make friends she'll know for longer than a few minutes. But when she gets to a small town in Western Kentucky, and meets the impossibly cute Calloway, she finds that the world she's so desperate to fit in to isn't the world she actually belongs to after all.
I loved this book. The entire time I was enchanted by the imagery and secretly hoped this would be picked up by Hollywood filmmakers to bring this vision to the screen. The real-life small-town girl as the main character seems as real as the true girl next door. You can't help but wish you had the same bad-a** personality she develops throughout the tale. I loved that the book was unpredictable and yet the type of fantasy tale we all love. I can't wait for the next book.
Reading challenge 2022: trying again to get to atleast 100 pages in all the books I own. I had previously made it to 268 but couldn’t get past 103. There’s something just not believable about this, least of which is the kids names in a small town are like “Levin” and “Calloway”
