A Girl Named Digit by Annabel Monaghan

Source: Goodreads
Synopsis:
Farrah "Digit" Higgins may be going to MIT in the fall, but this L.A. high school genius has left her geek self behind in another school district so she can blend in with the popular crowd at Santa Monica High and actually enjoy her senior year. But when Farrah, the daughter of a UCLA math professor, unknowingly cracks a terrorist group's number sequence, her laid-back senior year gets a lot more interesting. Soon she is personally investigating the case, on the run from terrorists, and faking her own kidnapping-- all while trying to convince a young, hot FBI agent to take her seriously. So much for blending in . ..

Hey Guys,

So this is another book that has been on my to read list for ages, and I finally sat down yesterday to read it. Thank God I did. Within like a chapter I knew I had found a favourite. The same feelings of joy and excitement and a renewed faith in ya rushed through me as when I read Scarlet or Dairy Queen for the first time. And those feelings never left me. I freaking loved this book.

Thoughts:

First- I've been reading a lot of spy-ish based stuff and this was done so freaking well. Like no complaints. No feeling the mystery was too convoluted, no confusion, no what the heck is happening right now, none of those feelings of frustration. I able to completely go along with the ride without complaint.

Second- I really appreciate how much time was devoted to completely building up Digit's character before ish hit the fan. It was the perfect amount. Not too much that it felt like the story was moving too slowly, but not too little.

Third- Sure you read a lot of books where the main character has some kinda special ability but at no point did I feel like I was reading some kinda cliche.

Fourth- Yes to all things John.

This was just a really refreshing read. It wasn't like anything I'd read before, no regurgitations of common storylines or characters, it was just all around awesomeness.

Note: 4.25 stars. Clean
