Síndrome Psíquica Grave by Alicia Thompson

5.0

Leigh Nolan has enough problems in her life already. Add a roommate who hates her boyfriend, boyfriend's roommate who hates her, trouble with her boyfriend, and a mentoring program with her arch rival and things get even more crazy. Oh and then she has to go and analyze it all.

Leigh likes her college. She doesn't really get graded there so things seem pretty easy and she's studying what she wants to study, not what her parents want her to study. So why does it seem like everyone is rushing her and pressuring her? She's a freshman, why should she worry about things now when she has three more years for that?

Also, what in the world is wrong with her boyfriend? They were high school sweethearts and they now go to the same college. On the outside it seems like everything's perfect but why won't he invite her to stay over? Maybe it has something to do with his roommate from hell, the one who can't stand her.

Things can't seem to get any worse for Leigh but somehow, they do. Will her roommate ever like her boyfriend and if not, is there a reason why she shouldn't? Will Leigh ever figure out what she did to make her boyfriend's roommate hate her? Will she ever stop analyzing every little detail of her life?

First off, I just have to say that I loved Psych Major Syndrome. Sometimes you just want a really cute, feel-good romance novel and that's what this is. At first, I really didn't know what to expect but once I got into the story, I really got into it.

Leigh was a great character and she reminded me of one of my best friends so that made the book even better. Also, it was just so funny. Reading about Leigh and all her many issues, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Of course that always gets me some weird looks when I happen to do it in public. =]

All the characters in Psych Major Syndrome were great. I liked the ones I should have liked and I really didn't like the ones I shouldn't have liked. Alicia Thompson did a great job of making the characters believable and I really understood why Leigh either loved them or hated them.

Oh and I will say this, my favorite character was the girl Leigh mentored, Rebekah. She was hilarious. If I ever mentored I would want her as my student. Also, she had some shocking truths that actually helped Leigh get over her past and learn how to move on. She was not only funny, she was very wise for a bratty fifteen year old.

Overall, I really recommend Psych Major Syndrome for anyone. I mean who doesn't love a cheesy romance every now and then?
