Spoiler-Free Synopsis

You'd think Maddie Fynn is your average high school junior. Good grades, good friends, good life. But there's one flaw behind it all: she sees dates. Not random dates. DeathDates. Since she was younger, she's always been able to see these mysterious dates. But they never were put into consideration until her father passed away the exact date she'd said. After her father passed away, her mother began to get stressed out, shoving it all down a hole into a bottle of Whiskey. Her mother soon began to use these dates for money. Extra side money. Whilst she felt it was a good decision, to Maddie it wasn't. Having to tell all those innocent people the day they're kids or family will pass. But one day, something that she'd always done may have turned into something that no one believed she did. When her neighbor's son goes missing the day after she went to Maddie, she reported her to the police. Thinking she killed him. But the main question is: Will Maddie be able to prove that she isn't the one who killed him?


MY REVIEW


Imagine looking everywhere. No matter what, no matter when, to just see dates on everyone's head. Imagine having to soon realize these aren't birthdays or special dates. Deathdates. That would torture me. SO much. Anyway, this is a really good book. The amount of suspicion from almost EVERY single character is unimaginable. No one believes her. And which I could understand, but again, her mom forced her to make the deathdates thing a way to make money; which is a horrible way, telling people when they're closest family members will pass away, whether it's close or far, and then taking their money.


They constantly kept getting mad at her for small mistakes any human could do, from any thing. Simply because they are forcing themselves to believe a 16 year old girl killed a 16 year old boy. No. She would never, I would never, only messed up people would ever. While they were getting mad at her, she did end up figuring out who the killer was. But this is a really good book, and I definitely recommend. :)
