 Firstly..... am I the only one who hates it when a book is compared to another book or tv show because of their similar genres? It's annoying and makes it feel like you're about to read a second hand carbon-copy. 
 I liked Nearly's character. I can totally relate to the whole 'I'm seriously anti-social because I want get a scholarship and go off to an Ivy League so my mom and I can have a better life'. That's totally fine. She got a bit annoying when it came to her interactions with other people around her. Maybe because she's a bit emotionally closed off for whatever reason (bit ironic considering her 'gift') and so she's impulsive. Just like when she nearly busted Reece in front of the entire school. 
 Another thing: the whole bloody Mcbadboy thing which is too common. I got a bit apprehensive at Reece's presence, he snuck up on me and I couldn't help but like him. He was so patient with Nearly even when she irritated the very core of my being. 
 Elle Cosimano did a great job of weaving the story together and painting in the ending in such a way that you think "Oh sh*t I should have seen that coming but I totally didn't even though it was obvious." 
 It reached a certain depth expected of a YA novel and had an impressive finish (despite having little or no resemblances to Fringe or Bones). It's a niche of its own really.
