The Odds of Lightning
The Odds of Lightning | Jocelyn Davies
5 posts | 4 read | 12 to read
A bolt of lightning inspires an incredible journey in this charming, magical realism adventure that takes four teens on an all-night journey through the streets of New York City. Extraordinary things happen when we least expect them. Tiny, Lu, Will and Nathaniel used to be best friends. Then life-defining events the summer before high school tore them apart. Now, three years later, they hardly talk anymore. Nathaniel has become obsessed with winning the prestigious science scholarship that his genius older brother once won. Will has risen from anonymity to popular soccer star. Lu grew into a brash, impetuous actress. And shy, poetic Tiny has slowly been fading away. But fate weaves their lives together again the night before the SATs, during a wild thunderstorm that threatens to shut down New York City. And lightning strikes. Before they know what's hit them, the four teens embark on an epic all-night adventure to follow their dreams, fall in and out of love, reconcile the past, and overcome the fears that have been driving them since that one lost summer. And by the time the sun rises, odds are theyll discover that theres a fine line between science and magic, and that the mysteries of love and friendship cant be explained.

I thought the book had a good story line, but it didn't pull me in like so other books have in the past. I found that there were some moments where I was on my toes and wanting to read more, but there were also times where I just wasn't feeling very interested.

Quick read. Reminiscent of Freaky Friday and a hand full of those late 90's early 2000's teen movies. It's a great book to have in the car or in your purse. You can turn to its pages in awkward social situations and easily find your place in the story while escaping reality. 😁

Perfect book for this cold and rainy day! The sound of rain against my windows went well with the storm brewing in this story.☔ 🌧☇☈🌂

I liked it just 'okay'. It would be a good pick if you need something quick/different to pick up while you are reading a series or if you just got done reading a really long book. The characters are likeable enough, and the story is somewhat engaging.
