How do people known as synesthetes taste sounds and see colors in numbers?
There's a little too much going on here: Mia misses her grandfather, who died a year ago; she and her best friend (still mourning her mother's death three years ago) have a falling out over Mia's secret; Mia suddenly has boys in her life (one classmate and one fellow synesthete she meets online); and Mia starts cheating at school and lying to her parents.
Synesthetes are people with a brain condition that leads to a hallucinatory welding of senses.
