First off, I just have to say that this title is perfect. It invokes the song "You Found Me" by The Fray and that is exactly what Penny was before she was found by Ben, Zellie, Avery, and the rest of the gang "Lost and insecure, you found me, lying on the floor."That's where Penny was, well lying on the side of the highway, but I'm not about to give any spoilers.This book is told from the dual POV of Penny, Wyatt, and you get to see a little bit of Ben and the old gang from the Zellie trilogy and what they've been up to. What Stacey does VERY well is give each character their own unique voice without going overboard. She can write an angsty teenage girl that is so real I felt like I was actually in a teen girl's head. The same could be said for Wyatt, he wasn't an overbearing, hypersexualized male voice but sounded like a normal teen boy, that of course did think about the hot pink haired new girl.I highly recommend this book for fans of the Zellie Wells trilogy and for fans of young adult science fiction books. It has the futuristic technology of BUMPED and that same school for kids with special abilities vibe as X-Men First Class. If you are a fan of either of those, you should definitely check out this book!
