![]() ![]() YA)Ī Mexican American boy takes on heavy responsibilities when his family is torn apart. ![]() Readers will probably ignore this in favor of the snappy dialogue and ultimately happy ending. The many plotlines wear thin in places as the author juggles eating disorders, body image, self-improvement, romance, strained family relations, coming out and changing friendships. Kristi is a self-proclaimed “bitch” who has no qualms about putting people in their place if she thinks they deserve it, but readers can’t help but admire her honesty and raw emotion. To complicate things further, Kristi’s father left two years ago and she’s just starting to get used to life without him when he shows up, back from a stint working as a doctor in Africa. The only thing that deeply bothers her is the fact that her crush, who also happens to be her ex-best friend’s brother, thinks the word “sick” every time he looks at her. With her ability to read minds, love of opera and funky homemade clothes, Kristi has more or less embraced her role on the social fringes of her bohemian high school. Psychic Kristi learns that people aren’t always the sum of their thoughts. ![]()
