You Were Never Here by Kathleen Peacock

So glad I didn’t read the reviews about this book before I gave it a try. While it looks like it’s getting mediocre fanfare, I really loved it and hope that the author continues sharing Cat’s story.

Throughout the story, Cat learned about friendship and trust. Her character seemed like a typical teenager in every way, which was refreshing and pleasant to read. Many of the YA books I’ve read have teen characters who are more mature than my grandma. Cat was self-conscious about her weight, frustrated with her father, and innocent enough to still get nervous about a sweet, chaste kiss.

I love stories about “powers” like the one Cat has. Some of my favorites with similar vibes — Bone’s Gift by Angie Smibert and Ghost Gifts by Laura Spinella. If you know of others like this, I’d love to hear!

Thanks to Netgalley for giving me a copy of this book. Opinions shared are mine.

  2. I loved her YA back in the 2010s. I think I have an e-ARC of this and I’ll try it – I often like books that others don’t and vice versa.

  3. It looks like an interesting read.
