I inhaled this book. I recently finished Scythe and Thunderhead, and decided it was about time I caught up on Shusterman backlist titles, and it was definitely the right choice. Not sure how to review this without spoilers, though. There's a great SF/magic conceit at the heart of this story, and it'...

This was an amazing how love can be harmful but in the end, conquer all. It teaches you to do what you believe is right, stand up for what you believe in, and never give up on love. Ever.
An interesting take on psychic powers. Brewster, called Bruiser because... well, he just is, has the ability to transfer any pain, physical or emotional, from the person feeling it to himself.
