Review: Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson

Ultraviolet is a book that I am indecisive about. The science behind it is very interesting, but (spoiler alert) I was not expecting an appearance from the cheesy aliens observing humans.
So basically, the main character gets into a fight with a girl from her school who just happens to disintegrate while they are fighting. The main character, Alison, then has a mental breakdown and is sent to a mental hospital believing she killed the girl with her mind.
 Mayhem insues and she discovers she has synesthesia. That is a real phenomenon where someone can hear colors, taste sounds, or sees or associates colors with letters, numbers, days of the week, or specific times.
Back to the story, Alison's psychiatrist turns out to be a fake and then lies to her about who he is so many times that I lost track. She miraculously falls in love with him and they become a couple (seriously people). Guess what! Plot twist (that I should have seen coming): he's an alien sent to observe experiments set up on Earth.
I won't give away the end, but you pretty much know it anyway (wink wink). If you don't want to read the book, but want to know how it ends just think of the most predictable ending ever and that's it. If you want to know specifically how it ends, just leave a comment and I will get back to you.
Stay literate America. Until next time!
