Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the weight of social anxiety or the feeling that their intuition is a burden rather than a gift. It speaks directly to the experience of being an outsider who is hyper-aware of others' emotions and the pressure of navigating high school social hierarchies. Cassie is a relatable protagonist who can read minds, a metaphor for the overwhelming sensory and emotional input many teens feel today. The story follows her journey as she develops a relationship with a popular athlete while grappling with terrifying premonitions that force her to choose between safety and action. It is a secular, fast-paced supernatural thriller that explores themes of trust, responsibility, and the courage to act on one's convictions. While it contains some mild peril and romance, it serves as an excellent tool to help teens discuss the anxiety of the unknown and the importance of finding supportive allies in stressful times.
