NUM8ERS by Rachel Ward

Goodreads Page


Summary (via scholastic. com): "Ever since she was child, Jem has kept a secret: Whenever she meets someone new, no matter who, as soon as she looks into their eyes, a number pops into her head. That number is a date: the date they will die. Burdened with such awful awareness, Jem avoids relationships. Until she meets Spider, another outsider, and takes a chance. The two plan a trip to the city. But while waiting to ride the Eye ferris wheel, Jem is terrified to see that all the other tourists in line flash the same number. Today's number. Today's date. Terrorists are going to attack London. Jem's world is about to explode!"


Review: I liked this one... well enough. I liked it more at the beginning than at the end. I already knew part of the plot from reading reviews and summaries, and once I'd gotten past the stuff I knew was coming, I pretty much lost interest.


Goodreads Shelves: addictive, is-or-would-be-a-good-movie, is-this-a-kissing-book, pretentious, thought-provoking
