The Horn Book

Morgan is excited for her sixteenth birthday, which she shares with her too-good-to-be-true boyfriend, Cam. Unbeknownst to Morgan, that's also the day Cam will become a full-fledged fairy and must return to Otherworld. As she fights to keep Cam, shallow Morgan transforms into a more complex character (though the shift is a little too abrupt to be believable). Copyright 2009 of The Horn Book, Inc.

Kirkus Reviews

In most high schools, the psychic girl would be the weird supernatural student, but Morgan's precognitive powers just aren't the strangest thing around. Instead, it's Morgan's boyfriend, Cam, her best friend since they were in diapers, who's the really paranormal teen in this shallow romance. It seems Cam is a changeling, destined to return to the fairy lands on his 16th birthday. Morgan watches in horror as Cam's football-player physique shrinks away into sparkly, winged, smooth-skinned feyness. Meanwhile, she has to cope with an interloper: Pip, the human child originally stolen and replaced by Cam in the cradle 16 years before. As Morgan watches, Pip transforms from fashion-challenged dork to a gorgeous-smelling hunk with washboard abs. It's too bad that this love story, fairly original within the confines of the trendy paranormal-romance genre, is so thoroughly superficial, complete with a self-absorbed, unlikable heroine and a looks-obsessed notion of love and romance. The fairy world has got to be better than being in Morgan's orbit. (Fantasy. 12-14) Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

I LOVE this book!! I know the title and cover might seem boring but trust me, it's amazing! It's such a great/sad love story, and Pip is the sweetest! Good job Cyn Balog!
