"I
waited for this day, for this one thing to complete me. To wrap up seventeen
and three-quarter years of my life and set a pretty bow on it in the form of a
graduation cap." (7)
Maggie
Masters feels sad and lonely because it seems that everyone leaves her--her
mom, her boyfriend, even her father has decided to ignore her. It's horrible
when your father tells you you're not good enough for anyone.
Right away
she becomes infatuated with a cute boy she saved, Caleb. An instant connection
envelopes them when they touch for the first time. Strange, wonderful visions
appear before her. "You're the one," says Caleb in awe. Oddly
fascinating. But what is an imprint, a significant? Are they meant to be? What
are they? Superhuman? Aliens? They belong to each other now?
I got a kick
over the severe withdraws Maggie gets whenever she and Caleb are not together.
Apparently, you have to "imprint" for the sake of family survival.
I found the
whole "significance" idea to be very intense. How can you crave
somebody? And you have to always be with each other or you'll get sick? Like
always?
After a
while, you get sick of hearing all about the "significants" and the
abilities one acquires after "ascension." It's basically all about
how Maggie and Caleb can't be apart from each other. The only interesting twist
was that Maggie could have a different "significant" in Kyle and then
there was that whole rival clan wanting to stop the "ascension." Still,
even this wasn't all that riveting.
An okay
story.
My rating: 3 stars
