Life is changing for Veronica with new friends, distance growing between old friends, and her dad’s upcoming wedding -- plus she still hasn’t completely gotten the hang of her “stupidpowers.” With everything about her life shifting, does Veronica not fit in her home anymore? What can she do?

This is the third book in a series, but I read it without the prequels and still felt that I understood what was going on. I love the idea of Veronica’s powers that display her emotions in a real and noticeable way because readers can then look at their lives and better identify what is causing their emotions. Reading some of Veronica’s poor choices was hard, but seeing how everything worked out in the end is a good reminder that our embarrassing and bad choices can be made right. Even if things look hard now, things won’t stay that way.
