Don't Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski, 319 pages
A group of New York City high school students develop telepathic powers after a strange flu shot. The popular girl struggles to keep her secret from her boyfriend, while her best friend explores the feelings of her long-time crush. Best of all, the quiet anxious wallflower stops worring about what people will think of her (she already knows) and learns to enjoy life!
I enjoyed following this supernatural soap-opera about teens who discover and explore their new telepathic abilities. But I wish that the book reflected this diverse NYC school. The three main female characters were white and middle class, just like the three girls on the cover. I think this limits the appeal of this story.
