"This coming-of-age tale set in Cape Cod includes a touch of mystery for an original take on loneliness, broken families, and teenage romance. . . . Themes of social isolation and identity are addressed with delicacy and poise, the dialogue sparkling with lightly dusted humor. . . . An intriguing story and a creative take on the genre." —Kirkus Reviews

"Heartfelt and original. Readers will identify with Rachel as she searches for love and wonders if she needs to be struck by lightning to find it." —Kirsten Lopresti, author of Bright Coin Moon

"Don't wait for a thunderstorm to read this book; the chemistry in SOULSTRUCK crackles with its own electricity." —Gina Ciocca, author of A Kiss in the Dark

"This realistic contemporary novel is a slice of teenage life that depicts struggles with friendship, attraction, parents, and the ability to communicate. The novel’s pacing fluctuates at times with occasional bursts of background information that provide enlightenment and has an overall contemplative tone. Characters appear genuine and accurately represented with lifelike imperfections and unique personalities." —School Library Journal

"The teen’s strong voice and her heartfelt yearning for romance, the authenticity of the surrounding cast of characters, and the high-school social drama will pull in readers despite the startling, somewhat weird lightning issue and Rachel’s obsession with it. There are plenty of enticing elements to curl up with here."—Booklist

"The book’s hint of the supernatural is successfully balanced by more down-to-earth insights into the complications of love and fate." —Publishers Weekly
