About this listen

Ollie and Moritz are two teenagers who will never meet. Each of them lives with a life-affecting illness. Contact with electricity sends Ollie into debilitating seizures while Moritz has a heart defect and is kept alive by an electronic pacemaker. If they did meet, Ollie would seize, but turning off the pacemaker would kill Moritz. Through an exchange of letters, the two boys develop a strong bond of friendship that becomes a lifeline during dark times - until Moritz reveals that he holds the key to their shared, sinister past and has been keeping it from Ollie all along.

this book had me thinking it was going to be one thing and delivered something entirely different from a fake disease to alot more sci fi then just that it was a good book but the thing i loved the moat about it was the ambitious ideas it had me thinking about for the sequel : nowhere near you

abnormal from expectations
