Review

Eva is a seventeen-year-old math whiz who tutors struggling math students and uses her paranormal skill of reading a person's belongings as a way to diagnose what may be blocking the person from learning. Her paranormal ability, which she calls fractals, keeps her from touching people because of the sensory overload and darkness that she sees. She plans to pursue the neurosciences in college to find out why she has these visual hallucinations. Eva was orphaned by a drunk driver and adopted by her aunt who now has three-year-old quintuplets of her own. The quintuplets provide comic relief as a dark, mysterious connection is revealed to Eva when she begins tutoring Zenn Bennett. Zenn becomes the main attraction for Eva and his life circumstances implausibly connects to hers in a tragic way. This is a feel good, first romance with some paranormal and some non-necessary rough language that still made this reviewer cry at the end.

Overall Book Score: good
