X generation is about janis graystone 14 year old girl, want to earn a spot in varsity football team, and for Scott start of high school as change for him and he want in life and wanna get away for hacking. and he secretly love Janis they gonna meet somewhere , to break the taboo of caste system of 13 street which can be brutal .
Janis is junior her sister Margaret control and on beach guys and gals are not together they had conversations and Margaret rudely behave with guys and said them to go away and she started giving some tips to her little sister Janis that in college not to go for sturdy looking guys , geeks and bad one because the reputation is gone with them around and many other tips to her and she want her sister to be save , Janis share her dreams of horror with her , she made fun of her and said that maybe she has problem of sleep-walk . Her sister told her tips about high school what to do and what not and try to guide her but she is not listening to her .
Honestly, I like this book, and find that its a bit beta version of X-men series , the connection between reader and story is Missing like soul from body. As during nothing really exciting happened until the climax of the book came up , life was normal throughout for Scott and Janis like any other characters in the novel for most of the story and that just what i am not able to digest . I feel characters are too young and during whole time I didn't feel worried for either Janis or Scott until the end. It was bit awkward for me , the characters emotions and the way they reacted to situations seemed inappropriate, and the supporting characters didn't really have a flat base, nothing to do with the main story. I probably have to think before reading the next part of the series.

2.5 stars. I enjoyed the 80's setting and I particularly like Janis and how she stands up for Scott at the party. And the last 15% of the book was very exciting. However for a book about kids with powers it was surprising slow moving and alot of time was spent on normal high-school stuff that had nothing to do with what should have been the main story - Scott and Janis'powers, where they came from, who is watching them etc. Also because so much time was spent on this irrelevant stuff we actually don't get any questions answered at all.

Interesting, but awkward.
The plot was great. Mystery, romance. Yet it doesn't answer any questions.
Plus, book stuck in a certain time period? Reference every single thing even remotely related to said time period!
And awkwardness. A paddling and two pants-wettings. Not a lot of fun.
A great story, yet not one of my favorites.
