Wings by Aprilynne Pike

Laurel moves from her beloved home in the woods. To a small city about 40 minutes away. Her dad has bought a bookstore and wants to be closer to it. After 10 years of being home schooled Laurel is in public school for the first time and not loving it. David is her first friend who she eats lunch with and finds out that maybe public school isn't quite as bad as she thought. That is as long as every chance she gets, she is able to get out of the school and enjoy the outdoors. David introduces Laurel to all of his friends and she quickly falls into the group, hanging out doing homework all the normal teen things. That is until one day Laurel feels a zit forming on her back. She figures it is just teenage things and that in a few days it will go away, when she mentions it to her mom her mom asks if she has started yet. Laurel says no but her mom reminds her not to worry that due to her being adopted they don't know the family history and it is probably normal. After a few days it isn't getting smaller it is drastically bigger and very uncomfortable. One morning Laurel awakes early and notices something very uniquely strange, something that changes her life forever.

Wings is a unique title for this book. I love the story it is unlike anything I have currently read. I can't wait to see where it will go from here.

This book does mention sex, it isn't extreme or beyond specific but PLEASE be aware of it. If you are unsure if you are comfortable with your YA reading please read first!
As many YA books 14 and up is MY PERSONAL suggestion! Happy Reading!
