When Lightning Strikes by Jenny Carroll
3.0
16 year old Jess Mastriani has problems: She has a crush on guy that no one close to her approves of, her brother is schizophrenic, her mother makes her wear matching dresses, and her best friend is now constantly insisting in a lot of exercise just because of one "fat" comment made towards her; oh, and on top of that, she gets hit by lightening and now every morning she wakes up knowing where missing children are located.
Jess is not your typical girl, she has a very unique personality and I don't feel like I'm reading about the same girl in a different story (many characters act alike in books), she's funny and tough, a tomboy type of gal. The tale itself is very interesting with much action, romance, and even comedic scenes. I enjoyed Jess's adventure and hope to read the second book. The only reason why I took away one star was because the story itself started a little to slow for me, it wasn't until probably the middle of the book when the action began to start taking place. Recommended to girls who want a little adventure and romance in their lives.
