Synopsis:

Krista Miller feels like she has lived her entire life in a glass box with her every emotion on display. She can’t help feeling like a defect as her sensitivities have made her socially inept and without any real friends; the one exception being the boy that visits her each night in her dreams.

Krista’s emotions are put to the test when a move to California triggers a devastating change to her fantasy world. The nightly comfort that the boy provides has now become a recurring nightmare as he is taken from her by an unseen force.

Struggling to appear normal, Krista enrolls in a new school and finds it to be nothing like she thought. Her new life is sent spiraling out of control from a strange connection with a boy, Mark, who claims to know all her secrets.

As Krista begins to explore the emotions that Mark evokes in her, secrets about their mysterious past and their predestined purpose threatens to separate them just when they have found each other.

My Thoughts

 It is not easy being different and when being different means somebody wants you dead things can get really messy.

Krista has been dealing with her differences for a long time and is used to it, but after getting a taste of what it feels like to truly belong she will fight to keep it like that.

Krista was a sweet girl and I could really relate to her and I think many people can at one point or another remember how it felt to be different. There were other things we had in common and that were her love of chocolate and her love of books both new and old. I also liked her wit and sometimes funny way of looking at situations. 

Sam was an amazing friend to Krista and someone who I would love to have as a friend. She had it a bit harder as a child than even Krista, but was stronger because of it. Sam has a great sense of loyalty, especially to her friends that really shows through in the story.

Mark the love interest was really sweet and dependable. He is a great match for Krista because he makes her laugh and cares about her and her feelings. Mark is a great friend as well and it really shows.

The storyline itself was unique compared to most paranormal romances. There were some interesting concepts about how everything worked. I also loved the descriptive imagery used in this book. The way they described the Boardwalk really made me want to visit it as well someday.
