Overemotional by David Fenne

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!!
This snippet of the book is amazing. I did not get bored even once, the world building around the powers is so interesting and new in some way. The format of the book is innovative too, as we have chats, dialogues through telephone, and police reports, and I’m excited to see what else could the book bring us.
There are many povs (mainly 3 for now, I do not count Marcus) but it does not feel like too much, and we get to meet every character not only through a filter (the main character or the narrator) but by being into each of their thoughts.
Every character is so lovable in their own way, I love Troy so much and he is literally the definition of a teenager with a crush, so cringey and awkward is so real. Steven’s emotions feel so genuine every time, and as he is incapable of controlling the consequences of them, you know the real emotion even if it is masked because of the magic happening in him.
Finally, just wanted to highlight how natural it reads. It portrays teenagers’ lives and thoughts and actions so well, it feels like someone studied really hard how they are just to write about it. It’s a fresh read, so new with a plot that keeps you want to read and characters you want to protect at all cost. Need the full version like right now!!
