"An impressive debut full of a rich tapestry of description and well-rounded, relatable characters. The thematic elements around nature, themes of good and bad and how love prevails make Ingenious stand out from the usual crop and really touch you in a deeper way. After three chapters I was hooked and in tears by the final page. Thank you so much for writing this book, I think everyone should read it. Now I just want to read the next one!!" Romane A, Goodreads Reviewer
"I love this book. It is beautifully written but with surprising and sometimes shocking twists and turns. JY Sam has described her characters roundly and sensitively, even those not-so-nice ones." Beth M, Goodreads Reviewer

"I loved how every single character had a very unique and complex story and abilities... This is not only a story about prodigious kids and their love for science and technology, but a story about passion, friendship, finding purpose and identity." Andree Gonzalez, Amazon Reviewer
"This book was amazingly good for a debut novel! The author spun a tale that kept me reading, intrigued, and wanting more. This is not my normal genre, and I was sucked into reading on and on...and to me, that is the main point of any book!" Lauren S, Amazon Reviewer
