Nobody writes real-but-zany chaos, miscommunications, and missed signals like Willis. Her characters come across as real people, maybe sometimes so unseeing of the obvious you want to shake them, but you could imagine you know them. Willis takes the implications of our constant connectedness these days and really runs with it. The beginning pages, where Briddey is inundated with a storm of email, texts, phone calls, visits, and gossip were so much I felt my eyelid beginning to twitch with the stress. Thankfully she dials that back down as Briddey tries to deal with suddenly having telepathy. Loved the increasing sense of doom as she tries to keep her problem a secret, only to have more and more people in on it - and only some of them are trying to help. You'll figure out the deal with Trent immediately, and Maeve, and even Oona, but that's all how Willis planned it. I felt the ending was drawn out too long...I could have done with 20 less pages or so. Still, funny and romantic SF in a near-future setting.
