Since I am interested in synesthesia, it was a stroke of luck when I found out about this book. I've just finished it this morning, and must say that I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm old enough not to read many YA books anymore, but this one was delightful-- funny and fascinating at the same time, and very touching at the end. Synesthesia is a fascinating subject to me, and I feel that the author did a great job describing it (though I do not have it and neither does she). Mia was a great narrator, sweet and sarcastic, even a little scatterbrained, but hey, we're all human. I most definitely recommend this to people of all ages who want insight into a fascinating condition-- and even those who don't!
