Review: Good concept, too much sexual focus
Rating: 3 out of 5

I got this initially because it was free.  However, I thought it was a cute read.  Basically, there is a couple where the girl can see how a person's life ends when she touches them.  While she has had positive visions of her boyfriend's end, she has not had the same for his twin.  You follow the girl in trying to do her best in a tough situation, making it worse.  I liked the concept and felt it was well executed.  The novella flowed well and kept my attention throughout.  I found myself drawn into the family dramas, which we can all relate to all too much.  It's a sweet story, but there are some more mature themes, including sexual pressure, virginity, emotional abuse.  I assume this is geared toward a teenage audience, although I would not let my daughter read it.  While the girl has a strong sense of herself and saving her sexuality, it revolves around the pressures a bit too much with her decisions waning from what I would like to see for her, not staying true to her character.  Otherwise, I would have given this a 4 star rating.
