Mysterious Ways
(2024)
From acclaimed author Wendy Wunder comes a sharp and hilarious coming-of-age novel for fans of John Green and Nicola Yoon about an omniscient teenage girl who must grapple with whether there's such a thing as knowing too much...
Seventeen-year-old Maya knows everything. When she looks at someone, she instantly knows everything about them: their history, their private thoughts, their secret desires, their most tragic failures. Combine these private miseries with the state of the world, and it's easy to see why Maya's power forces the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Which is why she was sent to the Whispering Pines Psychiatric Facility, and also why starting at a new school is going to be such a challenge. Now, faced with Tyler, a cute guy she actually wants to know everything about, Maya realizes that maybe her power isn't so doomed after all. Maybe she can use it for good. Maybe she can even get the guy. Or maybe there really is such a thing as knowing too much.
