Ok so first and foremost thank you to Mr. Charlie Wood for giving me a free Kindle copy in return for my honest review. I am grateful and absolutely loved the book! Alright, alright, onward to the review. The synopsis was right on track with the whole different kind of paranormal romance, not really paranormal but somewhere along those lines ...Anywho the book begins off with the journal of Kara, about her days leading up to the 8th grade, how much she does not like 8th grade and how one the first day she met a peculiar boy. Ahhhh and this is where Jason pops in.Jason is a little on the weird side. He is there sitting at the steps at the middle school staring at the ground, yeah just staring. Kara finds this a little odd and stares at him staring at the ground. While this is going on a couple of boys along the sidelines are wanting to pick on someone.Can you guess who that someone is?Yup.It's Jason.One of the boys or the ringmaster as Kara calls him decides to flick a rubber band right onto Jason's cheek, yet Jason does nothing but swipe at his cheek as if it itched and continues to stare at the ground. Now if that was me there would be all kinds of hell coming down. Then Kara comes walking up to the boys and they scatter off leaving her alone with Jason.She then says hi and he seems like he is in his own world not even seeing shes standing in front of him. She says hi again and like a light switch flicking on he comes to life, a big smile spreading across his face.And alas a cute friendship begins.What made me love these two is how much Jason seemed to love to learn, he was always asking Kara questions, things about her life, about school, about why her best friend wasn't her friend anymore. And Kara never ceased to give him answers, it was like he was 8 and just learning about the amazingness of life itself.The next interesting part is during Jason's journals. How he was always writing about the new things he learned such as the television, the ice cream he tasted or how cool it was that his clothes were tight. It ticked me off sometimes like Jason was acting weird on purpose and could not figure out why he thought the way he did but when the ending came into view I suddenly understood the weird twistyness,This read was pretty quick and achingly cute! It has a touch of sci-fi and if your not a sci-fi person take a chance and read it. I'm kinda hoping there will be another book about Kara and Jason even if the ending was a sorta-almost-could have been cliff hanger ... Oh well. Overall awesome read!Thanks for reading and happy reading!I am open for book recommendations and reviews.- Alyssia
