Meh... Emma Jones is not your average teenager. She has a very special ability to see the future. But she doesn't just see the future she only sees what COULD be, instead of what actually will be. And when she meets the new boys at school things start shaking up for her real quick. The author writes well. I have no complaints about her writing style with the exception of the fact that she seems to repeat choice phrases over and over again throughout the book. the one thing that I really had an issue with what this book is the main character. And for me having a serious problem like this with the main character is a deal-breaker. The main character of this book, I know she's only a teenager but, she is annoying as all hell. She puts herself into situations due to her own stupidity, which is different from a lack of experience. She doesn't think things through, or think at all before she does things. And the one thing that I absolutely cannot stand above all the rest is the fact that she is being abused "but I love him..." BULLSHIT! I'm sorry but I just can't handle that kind of stupidity. The character that is supposed to be our hero is a complete, insecure weakling! Not good. I wanted so badly to get through the book and have it be like a coming-of-age and watch Emma grow up and make better decisions for herself. It is unfortunate that she never does either one. I did however like the storyline premise. I thought that it had a lot of potential however the execution was lacking. I'm going to stay again, if this were a true coming-of-age where we got to watch the main character grow up and blossom into a better person then this would be a much better book. I finished this book wishing that I had gotten more out of it than I did. I hope that the author does not take these criticisms to heart but instead uses them to build upon her books and make her characters stronger and more relatable in future novels. Many have liked this one and if you like paranormal romance you may like this novel as well but I cannot guarantee that due to all the problems I had with this book.
