I fully recommend the show but the book is a little less good.

That said, judging by the reviews I read on Goodreads a lot of people who like the TV series really hate the book. The book stars Sydney, a very depressed teenager who happens to have some weird mind control powers. The teenage dream. The book follows Sydney as she navigates a less than ideal puberty.

And he meets Sohrab, the boy next door who changes everything.

I have not seen the Netflix series, I therefore have no opinion on it or whether it's better or worse than the book. But Syd is extraordinary in one way: she gots the telekinesis!

Angsty Syd navigates high school awkwardness, family drama and an unrequited crush on her best friend while trying to rein in her budding superpowers.

I fall on the pretty darn left side of the political spectrum but complaints about this book are why moderates and conservatives hate libs. Sydney in I am not okay with this.
