Isolated from the world, all Jes is looking for is a place to belong. She can’t remember anything before her parents adopted her. Jes wonders if there’s something wrong with her. They constantly have to move because of her, she has eerie dreams and she might be borderline crazy. But when her family moves to her mother’s hometown, maybe it’ll be for good. She falls for the hands-off guy, befriends a guy with more secrets than her and starts a journey of self-awareness that’ll rip away everything she’s ever known. Will she embrace all that is happening to her or will she just be known as the Leftover Girl?
High school is tough for anyone but throw in adoption, strange events you can’t explain and the possibility of unknown powers surfacing, and you’ve got Leftover Girl. It’s 100% character-driven which I loved. Bolick creates a story with fleshed-out characters, dramatic tension and a coming-of-age undercurrent combined with a science fiction vibe. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. Secrets surround Jes and her family which also added mystery to the story. By the time I finished, I was an emotional wreck and needed a hug. Yes, I grew that attached to Jes.
Note: This is book one of five so obviously there are loose ends and a semi cliffhanger but it doesn’t detract from the overall story. It just makes me want to read more.
If you’re a fan of Roswell and science fiction, you’ll want to pick up Leftover Girl. Highly recommend!

First of all there are 3 books in this series.I’m reading book 3 now this author is WOW is all I can say.Absolutely love the story.It’s about a girl who was said to be kidnapped but isn’t she is raised by two people who generally love her as there own.I really don’t want to reviel to much of the story.But saying that I will tell you this she is someone of power and is learning how to use it.she is a young teenager and wants only to know what really happened to her real parents and I was shocked to learn who and where they came from.If you like a real outstanding fictional book you will love these books as I do.And that is gonna sum it up for now as I must get back to finish the last book.Hope you enjoy these books.
My life is as chaotic as this story is. So in the beginning it was hard to keep up and figure out whose who and what’s going on. But something about this book made me just keep going and I’m glad I did. I had to know what was gonna happen to Jes! I may end up reading book 2 (most likely)
When I read this book and realized it was about aliens I almost stopped reading it. But as I got into the story, it was mesmerizing, the characters were very endearing and I was hooked! Well written and enjoyable.
I really enjoyed this book! The characters were complex and well developed, and the plot was intriguing from the beginning of the book when readers must wonder why the young teen can’t go near water, and why her parents always tell people she’s adopted. It’s a mystery of sorts in many ways, and a good read. I recommend it to the reading community, and I want to read more of Bollick’s works. Now there are 4 books in this series, and I’ve read all of them! Such a great series! Check it out, I know you’ll enjoy it!
Jes Delaney knows she is not a normal 15 year old girl. Apart from being adopted at age four and nor remembering anything about her past, their family moves constantly around the country. When they come back to Cresdence to live near her mother’s family she will discover love, pain and some secrets from her past that will change her forever. Looking forward to continue with the serie. I got a free copy of this book from the author and I voluntarily review it.
