CLARITY is a well-crafted mystery with appealing characters. Clarity has such a open personality and fun ability, I find it a little hard to believe that she has no girlfriends (the book's explanation aside). There isn't a single cool, independent chick in the whole town? How sad! If I lived there, I'd be hanging out with Clarity all the time - Tiffany and popularity with the townies be damned.
But at least Clarity has plenty of boy attention. There's the sweet/sour relationship with her ex Justin, her sizzling chemistry with the mysterious new hottie in town, the easy rapport with her brother's best friend, and the tender bond she shares with her brother.
I was so caught up in the depth of the relationships portrayed, I didn't even mind that I was able to finger the culprit pretty early on and also have a good idea of that person's motives. I look forward to more adventures with Clarity and crew when the sequel PERCEPTION drops in March 2012. And here's hoping she gets some girlfriends soon!

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this so much. Really looking forward to reading it. I hope I don't figure out the mystery too soon though.
I just won this book from Amy, so I'm really excited to see you loved it.
I would be friends with Clarity too! She'd be my pick of snobby TIffany for sure! I loved the relationships in the story so much, and the family relationship was probably one of my favorite parts. I can't believe you fingered the murderer EXACTLY so early on! I was close, but didn't figure it out exactly until much later in the story! You're good...lol.
It sounds intriguing! Clarity reminds me of Violet Ambrose from the Body Finder and Desires of the Dead.
I've heard almost only wonderful things about Clarity! Thank you for the opportunity to win :)
I have also been hearing good things about this book, and think it sounds like a really creative and fun read. I am glad that you enjoyed it and that you are looking forward to the sequel!
I agree -- Clarity and her relationships were so well done! It was a refreshing sight in YA lit. Great review! Can't wait for the sequel!
This looks wonderful - I am going to look for it.
