New Release – Mysterious Ways by Wendy Wunder
Synopsis
A “sharp, hilarious, heartfelt” (#1 New York Times bestselling author Nicola Yoon) coming-of-age tale about a girl who believes she’s God from award-winning author Wendy Wunder.
Seventeen-year-old Maya knows things. When she looks at someone, she instantly knows everything about them: their history, their private thoughts, their secret desires, their most tragic failures. She walks around with the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Which is why she was sent to the Whispering Pines Psychiatric Facility, and also why starting at a new school is going to be such a challenge. Especially when Maya meets a guy she actually wants to be around, and must grapple with whether there’s such a thing as knowing too much.

Pre-Review
I am in the middle of reading this book. It is an interesting look at a young woman, mental illness, and the desire to help others. There is an eclectic cast of characters, and I am interested to see how this ends. Teenage angst: I am glad I am not having to live through that period of my life or anyone else’s!
