The Mind Readers by Lori Brighton

2.0

Like the stars say, this book was ok. There was a lot of hair-raking, a lot. I mean, every few pages. And the main character had the annoying characteristic of thinking of everyone else on the face of the planet as self-centered and petty, when she is herself annoyingly self-centered. Also just to warn you, she cries a lot, and gets nauseous quite frequently. I immediately thought the author had read Twilight and expanded on the mind-reading concept, which is so interesting! But the character did very little with her ability aside from whine about how hard it was to be able to do it, and manipulate popular people in to being her friend, the whole while despising them. Wouldn't it have been more interesting to have someone good natured, who used her power to help people who were lonely or afraid or in need of help but couldn't ask for it? Nah. I liked the plot enough to wonder what will happen, it was a quick fun read, but it could be so much better!
