I was not expecting much from this book since I never even heard of the author. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I liked the main characters, Cali is adorably naive and pure. She was raised in isolation in fear of something from her parents' past, and this is one of the things that made Cal, fell head over heels in love with her. He who was a typical bad boy with his string of flavor of the week girlfriends, was mesmerized by Cali seemingly guileless nature and her indifference to him. I usually find young adult couples fell in lust/love too fast to be believable, and yet Cal and Cali's developing relationship is something I enjoyed watching. You can actually feel Cal's conflict and his growing feelings toward her, I was rooting for him and his effort to get Cali to feel the same way as he does.Aside from the lovely romance, there is another plot going on about the scientific nature of Cali's ability. I have to admit that this part didn't interest me at all, in fact I feel like it is out of place and felt like the story didn't need the added plot. It's not intriguing or suspenseful enough to keep me interested, I find myself skipping pages just to get to Cal and Cali's romance again. However all in all it is worth a read and I'm off to read the sequel.
