{Review} Don't Even Think About It by @SarahMlynowski {Giveaway} @randomhousekids

Don't Even Think About ItContemporary teen fiction with romance, secrets, scandals, and ESP from the author of Ten Things We Did (And Probably Shouldn't Have).

We weren't always like this. We used to be average New York City high school sophomores. Until our homeroom went for flu shots. We were prepared for some side effects. Maybe a headache. Maybe a sore arm. We definitely didn't expect to get telepathic powers. But suddenly we could hear what everyone was thinking. Our friends. Our parents. Our crushes. Now we all know that Tess is in love with her best friend, Teddy. That Mackenzie cheated on Cooper. That, um, Nurse Carmichael used to be a stripper.

Since we've kept our freakish skill a secret, we can sit next to the class brainiac and ace our tests. We can dump our boyfriends right before they dump us. We know what our friends really think of our jeans, our breath, our new bangs. We always know what's coming. Some of us will thrive. Some of us will crack. None of us will ever be the same.
So stop obsessing about your ex. We're always listening.

This was a wonderful Contemporary, YA, Romance, set in Manhattan, NY with a hint of Paranormal.      I loved it!!  So a normal flu shot turned into so much more for a group of students.  They now have telepathic powers. They know all the secrets even that their school nurse used to be a stripper.  Which of course is so not something they wanted to know.  They know what everyone is thinking.  Who cheated on who. Who loves who, etc.  They get some good things via the powers they now carry. Ie. sitting next to the smart kids to get all the answers a test. They can even dump their boyfriends etc before they get dumped themselves.

This was a very cute one of a kind story that I would love to get back into with a second book.  Or even a spin off.  It has humor and seriousness.  And the group of students find out that even though they can hear what everyone is thinking. Having powers might make High School even tougher.
