Review:
Can I just say how much I adore this book?! Reading it was so much fun and I can’t believe how lucky I am that I was able to experience this beautiful story and friendship.
Cooper and Coupe, two very special boys with very different upbringings, are amazing! In the first half we get to know them both and their special talents, they fast form a very strong friendship and protect each other from the world and their different struggles with it. The second half we learn more about the world they both live in, the circumstances around their powers and in total what it means to be human.
It took a few pages for me to get used to the writing, but the story and the characters were so hooking I just couldn’t put it down.
There is a small teaser for a second book and honestly, I can’t wait. This is one of the best books I read this year!
