If the car accident killing her entire family wasn’t bad enough, she found she could read everyone’s thoughts as a result. You would think that’d be great until you realize how chaotic and intense the constant onslaught of thoughts could be without any way of turning it off. This is Ever’s story, until someone walks into her life who does just that – turns off the noise and changes her life again. But is her new life really any better than before? Will Ever ever be ok again? (I couldn’t resist.)
I liked the varied plot line, but that was only to a certain extent. Halfway through and I was confused and really just wasn’t feeling it. The story turned into a predictable tale about old jealous girlfriends, and the ending was all wrong too.
The author had the chance to make a great novel, but I guess the idea of turning it into a series was too great and she (Ever/author) chose wrong. You will have to let me know if you agree or not. You will know the choice I am talking about when you read the story and I don’t want to spoil it.
I loved the character of Riley, the sister who is caught in between worlds. The definitive bratty little sister who is around at all the wrong times. I also loved the hoodie drama.
I would recommend this depending on who’s asking.
Enjoyment Level: 3/5 – enjoyed it a lot until the last bit
Beginning: 4/5
Middle: 5/5
Ending: 1/5
The writing was just alright. It was very pop/teenage with realistic banter, but the plot didn’t proceed logically.
“His eyes dark and smoldering, his fingers seeking the scar on my fact. / The one on my forehead/ The one that’s hidden under my bangs/. The one he has no way of knowing about.”
Happy Readings!

I hated this book. The ending was pretty lame and didn’t make a lot of sense. You can read my review of it here.
