(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
Ideally, I’d give this book 3.5 stars. I felt that the science fiction aspects weren’t as explored as well as they could have been and although the book itself was readable, I wavered a lot between liking Anna and not really liking her very much.
There were some things about Anna that I could really empathise with, but I kind of found myself disliking her a bit more when it came to the things about the boys. I think perhaps some of it was due to just getting a summary of her interactions with Steve when they realised they had so much in common.
The other characters in the book were a bit more interesting. By the end of the book, I found Jared to be quite intriguing. I would have liked to see more of the science fiction elements explored. The marks on Anna’s arm weren’t really shown as much as I felt they should be.
I also liked Anna’s relationship with her mother and brother, although some of her interactions with them kind of made my head spin. I couldn’t tell if she really cared about them or not.
I did think there were some cliched moments in this book. The nerdy girl who forms a relationship with the quarterback is something that’s seen explored a lot, but I felt that Steve was a more conflicted character than Anna herself. I think I would have preferred to see the events from his perspective, or maybe even Heather’s.
I probably would read the second book in the series, partly to find out what will happen to the characters, but also, I hope book two will have more of the science fiction elements explored in it.

Hmm, a bit off topic, but I think the artist did a fantastic job with the cover. It really caught my attention.
