Peace | 3 comments I'm sorry if my description isn't good enough but I read this book almost 10 years ago so I don't fully remember much about it.
I remember there was a scene where she was kissing her boyfriend and they had to stop because she was getting too hot and she was burning him. There was also a scene where a fire erupted in one of their dorms in the school and they had to escape and help each other get out. There was also a girl in the school that had the power to control plants.
I think the book had a second part but I'm not too sure. Apologies once again.

Any detail about the cover?

Does she does anything with this fire power or it just the story of her life dealing with it?

Eloise | 6 comments This sounds like it could be one of the books in the 'The Girl In The Box' series by Robert J. Crane. It's a huge series with overlapping story arcs but books 1, 2 and 3 are called Alone, Untouched and Soulless. Apologies, on the app and not sure how to add links!
