Undine by Penni Russon

4.0

A blend of contemporary YA and fantasy - Undine deals with normal teenage girl things as well as a unexpected touch of the fantastic in her life - that worked in interesting ways. For instance, the way Undine learns to deal with her new power over boys shows using fantasy to heighten normal teen experiences can highlight different aspects of coming of age. The writing was lovely and made up for any places where the plotting didn't quite feel smooth. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the sequel.
