"Pros: fascinating ‘first encounter’ novel, very original, realistic portrayal of modern social media phenomenons Cons: the book ends in a cliffhanger for book 2. Also, the narrator was a 23 year old you tube blogger so personally she was hard for me "

Emma-Jean Lazarus is strange: as in, extraordinary, remarkable, and singular. A 7th-grader who marches to the beat of her own drummer, she also pays attention to all of the other drummers out there. She doesn't always get it right, but her heart is a ...more | |

I haven't read an Amanda Quick novel in years, but I stumbled upon this in a Little Free Library, and it was just as wonderful as all the AQ novels I used to read. Love the heroine and her brains and strength. Lots of great twists and turns. Fun read ...more | |
