I found this book in the library a couple of months ago and after a quick scan of the blurb I put it back on the shelf where I found it. After a couple other visits to the library I kept seeing it all around the place and even heard about it through a friend and it seemed like I should actually read this book, and I'm glad I did because it was a amazing read.
This book is about a 16 year old girl; Pen O'Connell; who seems to have everything going against her. From having her dog literally eat her homework, to the millions of times a day she falls over her feet. She just considers herself really unlucky. Until a chance meeting with Sebastian Meyers, a boy genius and genetics expert, leads her to question weather all her 'mishaps' are just unluckiness on her part or some random coincidence.
Sebastian's theory really out there being; if you do good thing you get some good luck out of it; and the same the other way round; if you do bad things you in turn get bad luck thrown your way. This theory goes with most people; all except Pen; so from there they go on their own secret 'mission' so to speak. To see what the actual problem is with all of Pen's bad luck; if it just bad luck and Sebastian's theory is wrong or if there is something wrong with the way Pen's luck works and Sebastian's theory is right after all.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good book to read with a lot of twists and turns and with a really unpredictable ending. I give this book a 9/10.
It is always nice when a book exceeds our expectations, isn't it? It just goes to show you that you need to give some books that don't seem wonderful a chance (or a second chance in this case!) It sounds interesting and hopefully someone else might give it a try when they read your review!
