Summary:
If you're looking for a good story, you've found the right book. No question.
With that said, the writing isn't perfect (ha. Whose is?). The pacing was a little strange. And there was a little too much profanity for my taste, that's why it's only 4.5 flowers and a non-squeaky book. Nevertheless, I am glad I own this book and certianly recommend that y'all give it a try.
The book asks you this question: If you could have any one superpower, what would it be?
I would ask that you consider this question as well: What makes a superpower?
My answer BEFORE I read this book is significantly different to my answer AFTER I read this book.

What an amazing idea and plot. And the ending! Oh! The ending had me in chills!
