Evermore - Alyson Noel

Goodreads description: Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people’s thoughts, and know a person’s life story by touch. Going out of her way to shield herself from human contact to suppress her abilities has branded her as a freak at her new high school— but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste. Ever sees Damen and feels an instant recognition. He is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy, and he holds many secrets. Damen is able to make things appear and disappear, he always seems to know what she’s thinking— and he’s the only one who can silence the noise and the random energy in her head. She doesn’t know who he really is— or what he is. Damen is equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies.

I'd heard quiet a few things about this book before I read it but I had never heard any details so I had no expectations.
I actually really enjoyed this book! It's a very easy read and was a good filler book while I was gearing myself up for a more substantial read.
Ever is understandably a very mixed up character and at some points throughout the novel my heart really breaks for her. As an outcast she also has some very strange friendships. These friendships, however, are very well written and really ring true to everyday life for some teenagers.

For me personally, the only downside to this novel for the romance element. There is something about this storyline which did not feel genuine or believable and that really frustrates me!

I would recommend this book to those looking for a filler read as there is nothing substantial in this book.
