First, I want to thanks NetGalley and author to giving me this book for honest review
"High school sophomore Daisy Jones is just trying to get by unnoticed. It doesn't help that she's the new girl at school, lives in a trailer park, and doesn't even own a cell phone. But there's a good reason for all that: Daisy has a secret, unpredictable power-one only her best friend, Danielle, knows about. Despite her "gift" (or is it a curse?), Daisy's doing a good job of fitting in-and a cute senior named Kevin even seems interested in her! But when Daisy tries to help Vivi, a mysterious classmate in a crisis, she soon discovers that her new friend has a secret of her own. Now Daisy and her friends must deal with chilling dreams and messages from the beyond. Can Daisy channel the power she's always tried to hide-before it's too late?"
I really, really like the cover, that's what first caugh my attention when I saw the book. I started reading the second I got it, but I was bored and easy give up. I decide to try again and this time I actually loved it.
Let me just say,this isn't some deep psihological book that will change your life or broke your heart, but it's fast and interesting to read.
This is one of rare books where I actually like main character. Daisy is not little Mary Sue (for you who don't know what Mary Sue is, here is the link: (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySue )
I like how Kevin and Daisy have so much in common , and the fact they actually talk to each other. I fell in love with Kevin, I mean he is such a good boyfriend. What other boy will stay overnight and not expect anything?
Jane is also one of my favorite female heroine of all time, the fact that she didn't just scream and expect to someone save her is fantastic.
The only character I didn't like is Danielle, she was always so sarcastic and trying to be funny.
Best part of the book was short comic at the end, it perfectly fits in.
