“Katelyn Ogden was a lot of things, but she wasn’t particularly
explosive, in any sense of the word.”
Mara Carlyle’s senior year at Covington High
in suburban New Jersey is going on as normally as could be expected, until the
day—wa-bam!—fellow senior Katelyn Ogden explodes during third period pre-calc.
Katelyn is the first, but she won’t be the last senior to spontaneously combust
without warning or explanation. The body count grows and the search is on for a
reason—Terrorism! Drugs! Homosexuality! Government conspiracy!—while the
seniors continue to pop like balloons.
Mara narrates the end
of their world as she knows it with tell-it-like-it-is insight as she tries to
make it to graduation in one piece through an explosive year punctuated by
romance, quarantine, lifelong friendship, hallucinogenic mushrooms, bloggers,
ice cream trucks, “Snooze Button™,” Bon Jovi, and the filthiest language you’ve
ever heard the President of the United States use over Skype.
I'm so hyped about this? This book won the Most Unique
Premise of August 2016 award -- I'm sure because the plot sounds absolutely
wild. This book hasn't even been released yet and there are already rumors that
this will get made into a movie. I'm always ready to read about girls from
suburban New Jersey because I am one, but I'm even more ready to read about
people who blow up unexpectedly. Can't wait for this one!
