The Boy Who Read Minds

by Veronica Soliman

Aaron's special power might just be the coolest- or scariest- thing ever! It's always helped with his bad-boy reputation, his rightfully arrogant all-knowing intimidation seemed to go a long way with his love life. Until he met Violet, one of the smartest girls in school. A girl he's been using for years, zoning in on her mind to ultimately cheat on tests and steal the title of valedictorian. Until one day, she failed him. Her mind wandered all over the place- her parent's divorce, her breakup and he couldn't help but sympathize with the burden of the secret she holds.. But Violet's a smart girl, who knows how long it'll take her to find out. Aaron depends so much on his mind-reading capabilities that when they suddenly disappear- so does everything he hasn't worked for. His secret was like Samson and his hair, once it's told, the magic's all gone.

Wowowowowowow this book is SOOO different from anything I’ve ever read before. It’s a mystery, but also a romance, but also comedy, but also drama. It’s impressively connected and written in a way I’ve never seen before.

Well. It was confusing. There were so many different characters AND POVs I was SO confused. At some point some dude died and I didn’t even remember how he died or even who he was. It was also kinda boring and I just didn’t like the characters. To be honest I should’ve just DNF’d it cause it took me so long to read it and at some point I just didn’t enjoy it at all. The last few chapters were kinda good though and I was somehow happy with the ending. But all in all it’s just nothing I would recommend I’m sorry.

This has to be one of my favorite books ever. It had so many twists that I didn't expect. The characters have so much personality and the detail in this book is amazing. I definitely recommend if you are into drama and mystery books. This one was a great book. Though the change in perspective can get confusing but it gets easier to read. Other than that it is very well written. It was so interesting and I highly recommend.

I've read the Wattpad version. It was good, I really enjoyed it but some things were quite sudden and random. For example the fact that they were flying suddenly? or the character Trina. I also had some trouble getting into the story because every chapter is a different character. I did read that the writer changed a lot of things for the paperback version so maybe that will clear things up. Overall I think it was a cute book with a lot of unexpected changes.

It was a thrilling book to read, but there are a few things that took it away from being a great book. The timeline was horrible. How much time passed from the start of the main story to the end. Not knowing your boyfriend was murdered for a week, people kept quiet about a murder. In a coma for a week or more and released from the hospital in 2 days.

It had way too many pov switches and I never knew what was going on. It is a good idea, but this wasn't the best way to execute it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! I read it on wattpad, and tbh I wasn't actually satisfied with the ending :( The story was great. The timeline on wattpad was weird but it wasn't that hard to keep up. When the book is available in my county i'll buy it and read the edited version.
