Glory O'Brien's History of the Future by A.S. King

4.0

Glory O'Brien's visions are stated to be true, but imply a metaphor for writing. It's a little too coincidental that the dystonia she witnesses mirrors her own sexual and personal hangups, that the villains are cartoonish exaggerations of her disappointments with men, the she and the cute guy she met at the mall grow up into an action-movie couple. But that's the point isn't it; it makes total sense that an intelligent but introverted person like Glory would "people watch," inventing pasts and futures for random passers-by while lonely and bored at the mall.
