The Indigo Notebook by Laura Resau

Zeeta comes to Ecuador with her mother but what she really wants is to live a normal life. But that's difficult when your mother is anything like Layla. She meets Wendell, who is an adopted boy from Colorado, looking for his real parents. Zeeta agrees to help him not at all expecting how much danger she could be in. How many secrets could this small town possibly have? And despite his secrets, Zeeta can't help but develop feelings for Wendell. Can she have the normal life that she''s always wanted?

My favorite part of the story was the setting. The story transitioned from one beautiful location to another and the descriptions make you feel like you're actually there. There was much more suspense than I thought there would be. Wendell and Zeeta's sweet romance gradually built with time. The concept of finding your birth parents was not necessarily that original but the small details helped to make it seem more unique. Sometimes Zeeta's tone did not have enough emotion for the situation. I thought it was worth reading.

Layla, Zeeta's mother, was fun to read about. Zeeta's father was a mystery and brought about a good amount of suspense that will carry on into the second book. Zeeta paled in comparison to Wendell. Wendell was more unique because of his ability to predict the future. I thought that the main character should be more interesting than the second main character.
