I had such a fun time reading this! It reminded me so much of my childhood reading X-men comic books and put me in such a soft, comforting place. Cooper and Coupe were so much fun to follow through the story, I enjoyed them a lot. The book keeps a good pace and had me invested the whole way through,

This is an interesting concept, not unique, but something to get in to. The characters are likeable, and the pace reasonable. The book explores some quite difficult issues and for me crosses into the realm of adult rather than young adult. However, for me the story was let down by an element of naivety and a somewhat lacking writing style. It seems not exactly immature, but it felt naive and underdeveloped. This resulted in me not really being able to get behind any of the characters. I sometimes felt for Coupe but I wasn't invested in him. The characters also felt shallow, and again this is in part due to the writing style. For example when the boys leave home, they kind of seem to forget about their family and just accept the world and people around them. Coupe reveals all and yet Coopers powers never seem to develop past shoes which makes it feel a little childish.

This isn't a bad book, it just feels incomplete. I'm not sure I'd read the follow up. For me the writing style needs to be developed to keep the reader engaged and the characters realistic.

loved getting to know Cooper and Coupe, their friendship was the meat of the story and I feel it was perfectly done. The story was great and I can't wait to read more from the author.

Can I just say how much I adore this book?! Reading it was so much fun and I can’t believe how lucky I am that I was able to experience this beautiful story and friendship.

Cooper and Coupe, two very special boys with very different upbringings, are amazing! In the first half we get to know them both and their special talents, they fast form a very strong friendship and protect each other from the world and their different struggles with it. The second half we learn more about the world they both live in, the circumstances around their powers and in total what it means to be human.

It took a few pages for me to get used to the writing, but the story and the characters were so hooking I just couldn’t put it down.

There is a small teaser for a second book and honestly, I can’t wait. This is one of the best books I read this year!
