Mahlorie hates her braces. And who cares what she looks like anyway? Her parents sure do. Dad, a traveling magician, and Mom, a famous erotica author, constantly harp on the importance of appearance. Her best friend Shai is the epitome of pop-culture, crushing on every boy with a cute smile. But when Mal has a near-death experience and can suddenly hear a boy’s voice in her head, life takes a turn for the weird. He can hear her too. How did her braces become transmitters? And who is this boy she just might be falling in love with? For fans of “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Everything, Everything.”
This magical coming-of-age tale of mystery and self-discovery, and love and friendship makes the impossible become all too real...
Interview
The writing style was fluid and fast paced, which I really enjoyed!
I found the plot to be riveting with plenty of twists and turns, drama, and much more along the way.
I wasn't always on board with all of these characters, but their actions kept me guessing, that's for sure. This story is quite a bit different from what you would think you are getting based on the cover.
I highly recommend this entire series to any YA junkies like me!
