Review | Don’t Even Think About It

Hott Synopsis:

There are no secrets.

There is nothing that you can hide.

Through a strange sequence of events we’ve come to know that’s a lie.

It’s all a lie.

We have been injected with a wonderful strain of drug that allows us to hear all of your thoughts you can’t keep anything from us. We know all, and it almost destroyed us.

Hott Review:

I really enjoyed Don’t Even Think About It. It was the most fun afternoon I’ve spent reading in quite some time! I enjoyed hearing all the different perspectives thoughts and reactions by the students when they found out they had ESP; especially as they weren’t able help hearing what other people thought about them.

My only issue with the book is it there is quite a lot of cursing and quotation hooking up and quotation that doesn’t seem to be necessary. Umm no there’s no graphic nature just talk of that and drugs it was kind of disturbing that it was such a prolific part of the teams live.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!

    Sounds like a pass for me. I like the sassy cover though. Great review!

      I loved the cover & the synopsis. I even greatly enjoyed the book. There were just times that it was really sad and all I could do was to hope that’s not what teens are seeing in their schools. Unfortunately, that’s probably a tame version of what they’re seeing…
