Friendships. Tumultuous, profound, vacillating….the importance and influence of a circle of friends may never be as significant in our lives as it is during the formative years of high school. In The Odds of Lightning, Tiny, Lu, Will and Nathaniel used to be best friends…until life-defining events tore them apart. But when fate weaves their lives together again the night before the SATs, the four teens embark on an epic all-night adventure to follow their dreams, fall in and out of love, reconcile the past, and overcome the fears that have been driving them since that one lost summer.

If you’ve had a chance to read our extended excerpt, perhaps you’re asking yourself some questions. Who are you really? Are your worthy of love?  What kind of friend are you?  The answers to the first two likely require some introspection, but for the final question, perhaps we can help: take the below Odds of Lightning character quiz and by pondering deep questions like “Which Friends character do you most identify with?” and “Which pair of shoes would you wear?” you’ll discover which Odds of Lightning character you’re most similar to and in the process, you may even reveal unexpected insights into your very being! Or not. At least you’ll get a quick laugh, who doesn’t like taking a fun quiz?!

Even if you’ve entirely unfamiliar with The Odds of Lightning, it’s worth taking the quiz just for fun and perhaps you’ll find your interest piqued….in which case, you can still read our extended excerpt for a limited time AND you can follow along with author Jocelyn Davies on a NYC Walking Tour where she recreates *most* of Tiny, Lu, Will and Nathaniel’s adventures. Enjoy!
