Okay, so if you suddenly found yourself with the ability to fully read the minds of everyone without earshot, how exactly would YOU use your amazing new superhero abilities? 
 Well, if you're anything like the teens in DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, you'll use your mind-shattering new powers to ... uh, try and get a boyfriend? Maybe even cheat on a pop quiz. But, really, unfortunately, that's about it. 
 But, backing up a bit... 
 The sophomore homeroom class didn't expect for anything weird to happen that day -- the one in which they all received their regular yearly flu shots. But, a fluke in a few small batches accidentally gave most of the class the ability to read minds -- which the teens soon discover comes with a whole new, crazy set of consequences. 
 Suddenly, secrets have exploded everywhere, and everyone knows who is cheating on her boyfriend, who is shoplifting daily from the mall, and whose best friend certainly does not reciprocate on that long-time crush she has for him (ouch). Some kids hook up in the bathroom, some other kids make out while dreaming of other cooler kids, and then some secret government officials come in and offer the kids $50,000 each to take an anecdote shot to erase their superhero powers. 
 I was waiting for the government conspiracy -- for the CIA or the FBI to swoop in and steal up these kids for their abilities -- for some kind of major medical malpractice insanity .. but it just never happened. 
 I just don't feel like the spooky WE-voice of the narrator, as a mass blobbed thinking being of the combined twenty-something teens really came to fruition. I started this novel with high expectations, ready for some creepy mind-control insanity plot, but it just never happened. 
 Dare I say it -- but this novel was even... (sorry, Mlynowski, I love your stuff... I really do....) boring. What a waste of a perfectly good ability to give it to a bunch of self-absorbed, immature teenagers! 
 If you love bubbly chick-lit with a strangely misplaced almost-not-quite-thriller premise, though, this just may be the PERFECT book for you. 
 I should have judged it by the cover -- and not by the blurb on the back.
