Out of Body by Nia Davenport

4.0

Such a fun YA Sci-Fi/Thriller. I dig Megan’s character from beginning to end. Normally in YA books, it is clear that the characters need some major developing because they start out with some quite emotionally immature cognitive processes. Megan however was thrown into a wild situation immediately (getting her body snatched and all) and all things considered, she handled it so well! Even when she decided her best course of action to stay afloat was to lean into the life of the person’s body she was in, those friends and family members even acknowledged that she was handling her life in a more “put together” way (compared to how she “used to”…unbeknownst to them, she’s someone else in their loved one’s body). But anywho, yea Megan is solid.

I can’t really go into how I feel about the other characters without spoiling the story, but I will say that there isn’t a ton of character development for anyone besides Megan, which might leave something to be desired. I know it did for me.

The way the book ends, I could see there being space for a sequel in the future. If so, I would be open to reading more if my curiosity about particular characters would be satisfied.

All in all, I really enjoyed this book. Very fast and easy read. I consider thrillers to be palette cleansers and this one could definitely fit the bill. I recommend to someone new to thrillers/sci fi, or just getting back into reading in general.
