Goodreads - The Book Depository
In the Community, there is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from the Link network.
When Zoe starts to malfunction (or “glitch”), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.
As Zoe struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that are entirely new. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community before they’re caught and deactivated, or worse.
In this action-packed debut, Glitch begins an exciting new young adult trilogy.

Excerpt
He stood frozen for a second, stunned. Then, those green eyes trapping mine, he put his hand on the side of my face. He pulled me closer until his lips breathed me in, until we were sharing one breath.My whole body sank forward into his arms. His lips moved against mine, exploring my mouth so gently. I tried to mimic his movements – slowly, uncertainly, until I didn’t have to think about it at all. It just felt right. He let out a soft moan at my reaction and cupped his hands behind my head, pulling me closer until I couldn’t tell where my mouth ended and his began. A liquid sensation swooped throughout my stomach. It was the most amazing thing I’d ever felt and it kept growing, the vibrating heat expanding outward. I was surprised I was still able to stand.
Until Adrien’s hand brushed against the memory disrupter in my neck.

Random Facts About Me:
•I played the piccolo in my high school marching band.
•I paint a little, but for some reason, only in winter.
•So, the last name, I know it looks like Anastasia, but it has a U on the end: Anastasiu (rhymes
with 'so-nice-to-see-you'). It's Romanian in origin.
•I like body art. Well, I like art of all kinds, but especially body art, i.e. tattoos, because it's the
art you get to take with you. I figure, there's so much about the body we're given we don't have
control over (hips, nose, forehead, chin, height, foot size, health), so much that we get no choice
in, but hair color and ink designs? Hello world, this is me and the kinds of things I find beautiful!
•I was in a wheelchair for a year during college because of health problems. Being wheel-bound
and knee-high for a year certainly changed my perspective on life (pun intended).
•Yes, I am a fan of cheesy puns.
•My favorite book is East of Eden because it blew open my world when I first read it at age 20.
•I also unabashedly love Twilight. I even wrote a chapter in a forthcoming book of academic
essays about how Twilight, for all its shortcomings, can also have positive implications for readers
in that it provides a platform for public participation in a communal female myth. It's compulsively
readable and is all about engaging our fantasy lives and letting us participate in vicarious wish
fullfillment.
•I like pink and black together, but not apart.
