During a game of Freeze Tag the local kids find out that Lannie can literally freeze people and she uses this power over her neighbour West, threatening to freeze his sister unless he promises to like her the best. Now the kids are all teenagers and West is dating Meghan. They are hopelessly in love until Lannie decides it is time to cash in on the promise West made to her.
Cooney's writing is fantastic (if you liked her writing in The Cheerleader I think you'll like this too). There is plenty of romance between West and Meghan which is not usually my favourite thing but for the most part it worked well here. There were interesting themes such as nature vs nurture, and how well do you really know someone. The 'chilling' moments about Lannie's power were my favourite parts of the book.
