This one took a turn. I was completely into the teenage angst and romance and rooting for the main characters, then, well ... what just happened?
The story dives into the possibility of empathic powers and mind control. Where empathy and apathy are real constructs and part of some human experiences, can an individual truly use the ability to feel someone else's feelings to truly control them? No. There are no recorded cases, but hey, this is fiction, right?
Well, I to have to say that there is mastery in this author's writing. She has a literary way of placing a person in the character's feelings - did she just give us empathic powers? There were two points of view in this book, and I felt like I related to each of them.
I hope you enjoy it, too.
