The Unfair Advantage

The night before ninth grade, June Smith's father slides a small black case across the kitchen island. Inside is an earpiece, and in the earpiece is Viv: a voice that can read any room, any person, any lie. He built her out of grief, to give June the one thing her late mother feared she would never have. June swears she will only use it to get through high school. Instead she uses it to run one: matching couples, removing a predator, winning an election, and quietly deciding what is best for the people she loves. It works, until it costs her the best friend she has had since fourth grade, the boy who holds his books spine-in, and very nearly herself. Book One of the Wing Woman trilogy.
