This author never disappoints. I didn't even read the synopsis. I just saw her name and jumped in to the story. And what an amazing story!
Victory and Eli - best friends although a bit grudgingly. They are competitive and it's driven a wedge between them. When figuring their thesis for their big project, Eli gets the bright idea to study Extra Ordinary people - a term he's coined for people that seem to have extra "powers" - like superheros or villains.

I'm pretty bummed to be giving up on this, but picking this up feels like a chore to me right now. I thought the first 40-50% of this book was so great, but somewhere along the way after that I lost interest. I'm not feeling very emotionally invested in the characters. I'm not feeling much of anything for the characters at all. :/ I'm surprised and disappointed that I failed to connect with a book that so many people adore. Just not for me, I guess. ...more
