Coincidence or Jeanie?
Seventeen-year-old Nick Clement has just settled into life in Pacifica. Lately, his 'gut feelings' keep lining up with real events — and one of them points toward a girl he hasn't even met yet.
Overview
Some people call it intuition. Nick doesn’t call it anything — he just notices.
Seventeen-year-old Nick Clement has just settled into life in Pacifica, a quiet coastal town near San Francisco. Lately, strange “gut feelings” keep lining up with real events — little moments that make him wonder if chance is playing favorites. Then, a series of coincidences points toward a girl he hasn’t even met yet: Jeanie.
Is it fate, bad timing, or something else entirely? Either way, this week is about to get interesting.
