Maley got the tone for both main characters right and the listener can feel how opposites attract and complement themselves. I really liked the premise of this book which I think suits perfectly for a young adult novel as there is a lot of angst and self-questioning about the meaning of life and how relationships work.

Will Harper risk her heart for a short summer relationship? When she accidentally meets Chloe, she can’t help feel attracted to her despite the inevitability of her very close date of death. The only person who understands her is her best friend Robbie, a twenty-something-year-old guy who has the same talent. No wonder her mood is somber and her life outlook is pessimistic. ‘Colorblind’ is told in first person from the sole point of view of Harper whose gift to see other people’s death age is more like a curse.
