Review of The Gift by Andrea Buchanan

Description:

High school sophomore Daisy Jones is just trying to get by unnoticed. It doesn’t help that she’s the new girl at school, lives in a trailer park, and doesn’t even own a cell phone. But there’s a good reason for all that: Daisy has a secret, unpredictable power—one only her best friend, Danielle, knows about.

Despite her “gift” (or is it a curse?), Daisy’s doing a good job of fitting in—and a cute senior named Kevin even seems interested in her! But when Daisy tries to help Vivi, a mysterious classmate in a crisis, she soon discovers that her new friend has a secret of her own. Now Daisy and her friends must deal with chilling dreams and messages from the beyond. Can Daisy channel the power she’s always tried to hide—before it’s too late?

 Review:

This book surprised me.  I went in expecting it to be mediocre and it was great.  I loved everything about it.

The plot was interesting and just complex enough to keep you on your toes.  The story drew me in and I couldn't put it down.  I found myself switching the pages further and further just to see what would happen.

The characters were average.  Daisy and Kevin were developed and I could understand them.  Danielle and Vivi were flat one dimensional characters.  They could have used a makeover.

Overall, I would recommend this book to all young adults who love to read.  The Gift by Andrea Buchanan was a treat to read.
