I do not read many young adult novels these days for two reasons: I am out of touch from the world of young adults to get information about new books in this genre. The second being I do not get enough recommendations these days, so I am on my own. However, I got the chance to read Super Me by Jessica Dazzo. It is categorized in this genre and is the first book in a series that may constitute more.
Faye is not an ordinary teenager. She has a mom who likes someone to call her by her first name even from her own daughter. On Faye’s seventeenth birthday, her life becomes more extraordinary when she feels and hear things. She thinks her mind is going crazy and is making up the stuff in order to complete her own prophecy. She buys an old car for which she has saved every penny for a long time and drives it to her school but she meets an accident on the first day. She is unhurt, not even a single scratch or a wound on her body but there is blood. How? This is how extraordinary she is.
Humiliated by her crazy stuff and now her mother is making her life more miserable, Faye goes through emotional ups and downs in the life of a regular teenager. Then she meets Lucan, who is like her, a bit not so ordinary teenage boy. The series of events unfold in a supernatural manner as Faye and Lucan try to come together. The climax is amazing and it will answer all yours and Faye’s answers that exist form page one.
This book is in first person narrative with a writing style that deserves a high appreciation from any reader. It also uses the element of confusing a reader or put them off track which is popularised by Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins in this book. There are little signs of supernatural happenings with Faye. However, it is not revealed until the end. The suspense makes this book a page-turner, and it is what kept me going.
This characterization is fully developed, I could not find any underdeveloped character in this novel. Each character has their own persona which makes it enjoyable. The plot is well organized and if you are into the genres of young adult or supernatural/paranormal, this book is for you. You will complete it in no time.
