The Mind Readers

The cover of Lori Brighton's The Mind Reader shows a young woman balancing on a rock with water all about her.

l enjoyed The Mind Readers, which dips into the life of a young woman who knows what everyone around her is thinking.  I did wonder why her grandma didn’t prepare her better for the world she was getting into. And why was she so quick to trust a pretty face? (Though the book explains that–not entirely to my satisfaction–later.)

Still, it’s a fun, almost light–if any dystopian novel can be called light–read.  I may try to pick up the sequel. (If I get past my frustration with an ending that’s a blatant ad for the next book.)

Interested in dystopian fiction on the lighter side that has strong romantic elements (and a true ending)? Try my Hope Gardens
