Are Alyzons new abilities a blessing . . . or a curse? Alyzon Whitestarr doesn't take after her musically talented father or her nocturnal, artistic mother. In fact, shes the most normal member of a very eccentric family . . . until the day that an accident leaves her more unique than she ever could have dreamed. Suddenly colors are more vibrant to Alyzon; her memory is flawless; but strangest of all is Alyzons sense of smell. Her best friend smells of a comforting sea breeze. She registers her fathers contentment as the sweet scent of caramelized sugar. But why does the cutest guy in school smell so rancid? With Alyzons extrasensory perception comes intrigue and danger, as she becomes aware of the dark secrets and hidden ambitions that threaten her family. In the end, being different might be less of a blessing than a curse. . . . From the Hardcover edition.

This book was not what I thought it would be. I was expecting a YA story of teenagers dealing with powers & the usual emotions & perils of becoming a young adult, but it was so much more. It tackled some heavy themes & really made me reflect on why people do bad things. Are they inherently evil? How do people become bad? So many philosophical questions went through my mind reading this & every time I put the book down, it would stay with me. ⬇️

LazyOwl I think this is one book that will be in my thoughts for a while. I highly recommend this book, as I think it can challenge your thinking. It's dark but it's also full of hope as well. 4y

"...Why is it that people always think bad, dark things are more real and important than things that lift you up and make you feel life is worth living?..."
