Wake by Lisa McMann

Wake by lisa mcmann.jpg 
Wake  is a novel by Lisa McMann centered on seventeen-year-old Janie Hannagann's involuntary power which thrusts her into others' dreams. The novel follows Janie through parts of her young adulthood, focusing mainly on the events that occur during her senior year, in which she meets an enigmatic elderly woman, and becomes involved with Cabel, a loner and purported drug-dealer at Fieldridge High School. The book is set up in a diary like form, specifying the date and time at which each event occurs.
Wake is a very good start to a good series. But, with that said there are some parts that are very confusing. Like I didn't understand how one day Janie and Cabel never talked, and the next day they sat together on the bus and it was like he knew she could enter peoples dreams. Freaked me and Melanie out (Melanie is my go to person for books, so her opinion or thoughts might pop up sometimes). I really liked how it was so different to most books coming out now, but at the same time I couldn't stand how it was in a diary. No offence to any author how writes like the book is journal/diary, but I just can't stand books like that. I always feel like I'm missing something, like they didn't write it down. But anyway, I really liked the series once I got into it. Its a over all 6.
