Undine by Penni Russon
3.0
A quick and easy read. Not a masterpiece, but entertaining nonetheless. It was pretty cheesy at times, though.
Amid Shakespeare references galore, a 16-year-old girl discovers that she is in possession of some very powerful magic. She struggles to come to terms with the magic inside her as it threatens to take control. She also discovers that her mother has been hiding some very big secrets from her for the past 16 years. Meanwhile, the reader is also given glimpses into the perspective of a boy named Trout, Undine's best friend who also happens to e madly in love with her. Trout's unrequited love threatens to ruin their friendship, until Trout experiences a few moments of excessively narrated character growth.
