Minders

by Jaffe Michele

In a not-so-distant future Detroit. Reading someone's mind is no longer just a fantasy. An unflinching perfectionist, Sadie Ames is about to embark on every teenage girl's dream - she will be an observer in a boy's mind. Her task is to gather information for a corporation that is working to improve inner-city conditions. But as Sadie watches Ford struggle to peel back the mystery of his older brother's death, she begins to realize there is a dark truth lurking at the heart of the city. And when Ford does something criminal, she'll find out how well she can ever really know someone, even someone she loves. Q- If the boy you love commits a crime, would you turn him in? Sadie Ames is a type-A teenager from the wealthy suburbs. She's been accepted to the prestigious Mind Corps Fellowship program, where she'll spend six weeks as an observer inside the head of Ford, a troubled boy with a passion for the crumbling architecture of the inner city. There's just one problem- Sadie's fallen in love with him. Q- What if the crime is murder? Ford Winters is haunted by the murder of his older brother, James. As Sadie falls deeper into his world, dazzled by the shimmering pinpricks of color that form images in his mind, she begins to think she knows him. Then Ford does something unthinkable. Q- What if you saw it happen from inside his mind? There's just one problem- Sadie's fallen in love with him. Back in her own body, Sadie is faced with the ultimate dilemma. With Ford's life in her hand, she must decide whether to trust her mind or her heart. 'Jaffe's unflinching, twisting narrative takes us deep into the human psyche, where vengeance and betrayal, love and loss synthesize into a tender and compelling picture of what it means to be human.' Jessica Khoury, author of Origin 'Frighteningly - and deliciously - real. I couldn't put it down. Michele Jaffe's best book yet.' Meg Cabot, author of the Abandon series and the Heather Wells mystery series 'What if you fell in love with the boy you were spying on . . . while trapped inside his mind? A riveting page-turner that kept me guessing until the very end.' Amy Plum, international bestselling author of Die for Me

Took me long enough to finish reading this book. I was so bored. Too bad about the premise. It was interesting but I didn't care for the way it was executed. So many times I wanted to chuck this book but somehow I managed to reach the end. Don't ask me how.

Fuller review to come.
