The beginning of this book kind of made me roll my eyes--The chick was obsessed with a guy, and I really didn't want to read another teen romance. But as I got further in, I was surprised by the Sci-fi/mystery. The book is all about finding the truth behind a shady chemical company. I liked the Native American culture that flows through the book. That mixed with the almost believable science makes it better than your ordinary YA book.
