Charm and Strange by Stephanie Kuehn
4.0

This had been on my TBR list for awhile but after reading [b:Complicit|18404113|Complicit|Stephanie Kuehn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1383352823s/18404113.jpg|24573000] I was inspired to bump it up to the top. I think I actually liked this more than Complicit? Both are definitely in the same vein of psychological thriller but this one was more mysterious to me. Like I said in my note about Complicit, you kind of already know the twist from the start, and this one... I didn't.

The "charm and strange" quarks motif kind of seemed a little tacked on but maybe that's just because I don't know how physics work. It would probably appeal to a certain type of nerdy teen, though.

This one felt like a good readlike to [b:Liar|6380296|Liar|Justine Larbalestier|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1402355171s/6380296.jpg|6568189].
