This is a REALLY good book. It made me cry, or really just let out a tear.

This book is about a girl who has a disease, the disease makes every letter and number and color look different. Her cat is named Mango, because that's the color she see's her cat in. But when she tells her family about these colors they do every thing they can to make sure their daughter is Okay. What will they say to their daughter and her problem? Find out ( if you don't I'll make you!)

    Well, Mia decides that it is crucial to tell everyone that she has synesthesia - chaos ensues, obviously, she learns about her condition, then needs to be able to find herself.

    ... And then all the rest happens.


    I thought that Adam was kind of irritating, by the way. He's all "Can I kiss you?"

    That just kind of rubbed me the wrong way ...
