Faith: Taking Flight by Julie Murphy


Faith is a normal 17 year old who lives with her grandma as both her parents died when she was young.  The summer before her senior year both her best friends head off for the summer so she starts playing a game online and gets recruited to "awaken" her superhero power.  As she starts her senior year she has not told anyone about her gift to be able to fly.  She is involved in the school newspaper and Johnny, the editor, seems to be interested in her, but the big kicker is her favorite TV show comes to town to film.  The Grove is a show she has a fandom site for and she ends up meeting one of the shows main characters, Dakota.  Fangirling ensues, and wait for it...does Dakota like her?  As Faith deals with a grandmother who seems to be forgetting things, trying to decide does she like girls or boys, her superpower of flying and how to balance it all she starts to notice things are just not right in her small town and she takes it upon herself to start figuring out what. 

I normally love Murphy's books, but this one just didn't do it for me.
