There were also a lot of pages devoted to Dylan's two cheerleading BFF's, and a bitchy, mean girl, but not enough for me to find them distracting and/or overly-annoying, which I fully expected to happen. When he was finally able to start opening up to Dylan, it made my heart soar, just an itty bit.įor fans of TJ Klune's ' The Extraordinaries' YA series, this story did remind me a lot of those stories however, this was just a couple of regular high school guys trying to stay safe and hidden from the asshole scientists, without any attempts to be ' superheroes' and fighting random villains. I really enjoyed seeing the two adorable boys got to know one another and felt really sad for how lonely and isolated that Jordan felt while trying to hide his abilities from everyone around him. The main character was Dylan, an out HS junior without a lot of friends, who desperately wanted a boyfriend, then a mysterious cute guy, Jordan, showed up at Dylan's work and accidentally made his Dairy Queen Blizzard ice cream cup explode.

This was a fun YA story about a kid who got powers after an accident that killed his parents, then fleeing to stay one step ahead of the powerful corporation that was dead set on kidnapping and experimenting on him. And if Earth supports life that breathes oxygen, then love can only keep Jordan and Dylan together for so long.Īhhhh, young love, powers, and evil scientists. Jordan's revelations of why he's like this, where he came from, and who's after him leaves Dylan realizing how much first love is truly out of this world. But as the pressure mounts and Dylan becomes distant with his closest friends and family, he pushes Jordan for answers. Jordan forces Dylan to keep his symptoms a secret. When the boys start spending time together, Dylan begins feeling all kinds of ways, and when he spikes a fever for two weeks and is suddenly coughing flames, he thinks he might be suffering from something more than just a crush. Then, in walks Jordan, a completely normal (and undeniably cute) boy who also happens to run at a cool 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Sixteen-year-old Dylan Highmark thought his winter was going to be full of boring shifts at the Dairy Queen, until he finds himself in love with a boy who's literally too hot to handle.ĭylan has always wanted a boyfriend, but the suburbs surrounding Philadelphia do not have a lot in the way of options.
