Vibes

This book by Amy Kathleen Ryan I got from the library as an impulse borrow. It was from my Hurry-up-we've-got-five-minutes-before-we-have-to-go-so-pick-some-random-books-up-even-if-you've-never-heard-of-them list. I read it in one day. It was so bad and predictable that it was good. The characters were all kind of the same (unpopular misanthrope freaks) and the storyline is centered around the main characters' hippie school, Journeys. You should read it for the author's witty descriptive language, but in all other aspects, not really worth it.

Kristi Carmichael thinks she's psychic. She can feel what people around her are thinking. According to Kristi, her friend Jacob constantly thinks about her "ginormous gazungas", the cutest and most popular boy in school believes she's really sick (that's probably because of her secondhand "found closet" of clothes), and her dad suddenly forces himself back into her life, with shocking news and the determination to be a real father to Kristi again. Armed with her MP3 chock full of opera that drowns out thoughts that people beam to her, Kristi tries to figure out what's really going on in her life.
