Think Twice by Sarah Mlynowski
4.0

It was an easy book. I had chosen it because I liked the idea of telepathy and this combined with high school drama seemed pretty awesome. This is the first book where Telepathy is a thing used by multiple persons (more than two) and in the beginning it was something to get used to, but later on I really liked the element it brought to the story.

Another thing I had to get used to where the many characters. The story didn't focus on one character but rather on multiple characters. In fact on a whole class of 19, but luckily there were a few characters that had a bigger role. I thought the spiraling of Olivia was well written and I liked the dynamics between BJ and Tess.

I knew there was a catch with Brinn. Her being multiple times interrupted showed that she knew something the others didn't and I also saw it coming that it had to do with her eating Banana's. But till the ending I didn't know how the author would put it in the story.

The ending surprised me pleasantly. Somewhere along the way I realized that the experiments weren't going to work for any of them (I found the experiments by the way very funny) and it fit perfectly that Brinn was the only one left and would go to diamond. I also like how at the ending, they made another reference to the book The age of innocence. But the thing I liked best about the ending is that in the last page there was a reference made to the title of the book.

Overall it was an easy read (I read it very fast) and I liked the story. There is a sequel, but I'm not sure I'm going to read it. Because this ending is finite enough for me. Maybe, when I feel like a bit of high school drama again..
