Mysterious Ways

This book is amazingly good. I could not put it down. Maya is one of the most unique and original characters I've come across in a long time.I don't want to give away the story, but I know this book will stay with me for a while, and I know that I will be recommending it like mad.

A special thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great book! I could not put the book down once I begun reading it. Excited for it to be released. I will recommend it to everyone I know!

Wendy Wunder's "Maya Knows Everything" is an absolute must-read! It was so good - the humor and the relationships. All of it was just what I needed after bawling reading another book. This sharp and hilarious coming-of-age novel brilliantly captures the essence of teenage angst and the burden of knowing too much. Maya, our omniscient protagonist, brings a fresh and intriguing twist to the genre, making every page a delightful blend of wit and heart. Wunder’s writing is both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, perfect for fans of John Green and Nicola Yoon. As Maya navigates her unique abilities and the complexities of new relationships, you'll find yourself deeply invested in her journey. It's a thought-provoking, feel-good read that tackles heavy themes with a light touch.

Wow, what a great book! It was so engaging and kept me turning pages until the very end! I highly recommend it to fellow readers!

In Wendy Wunder's "Mysterious Ways," readers immerse themselves in the life of Maya, a seventeen-year-old with the uncanny ability to know everything about everyone instantly. This gift, both a marvel and a curse, propels Maya into a journey of self-discovery amidst the complexities of identity, mental health, and human nature.

As Maya grapples with her extraordinary talent at Whispering Pines Psychiatric Facility, she faces the challenge of forming genuine connections while burdened with knowing everyone's secrets. Encountering a boy who piques her interest, Maya confronts the limits of her abilities and wrestles with the notion of whether there can be such a thing as too much knowledge.

Wunder skillfully intertwines real-world issues with the supernatural, exploring themes like bullying, social struggles, and self-doubt inherent in adolescence. The characters are intricately developed, each dealing with personal demons that add richness to the narrative.

While some elements of Maya's story may test believability, Wunder's portrayal of teenage challenges and personal growth remains relatable and engaging. The plot, filled with twists and emotional depth, captivates readers until the final pages.

"Mysterious Ways" offers a thought-provoking take on knowledge, perception, and the human experience, making it a compelling read for fans of contemporary young adult fiction. It provides a fresh perspective on the trials of growing up in a world where excessive knowledge can become a burden rather than a gift.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for an ARC!

I found this book entertaining right from the start. This story is filled with drama, love, healing, as well as some fun, playful moments bringing in some lightness.

4.5 Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I was extremely pleasantly surprised by this book. I was expecting standard YA fare, which I often enjoy but sometimes
feels formulaic. Instead, this book was a breath of fresh air, so smart and insightful and just the right amount of whimsical. It offered great insight into teens’ mental health in the broken world the adults have brought them into.
The character of Maya reminded me of a more awkward, moodier “Joan of Arcadia” if Joan could hear the thoughts of everyone around her.

I look forward to reading more by this author.

A wonderfully quirky and heartwarming journey that's just the perfect blend of humor and life's big questions. Trust me, you'll love the whimsical ride and the unexpected twists!

I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.

I absolutely devoured this book and have recommended it to so many people. It was incredible! Such a fun story.
