The Girl with Borrowed Wings
Controlled by her father and bound by desert, Frenenqer Paje’s life is tediously the same, until a small act of rebellion explodes her world and she meets a boy, but not just a boy--a Free person, a winged person, a shape-shifter. He has everything Frenenqer doesn’t. No family, no attachments, no rules. At night, he flies them to the far-flung places of their childhoods to retrace their pasts. But when the delicate balance of their friendship threatens to rupture into something more, Frenenqer must confront her isolation, her father, and her very sense of identity, breaking all the rules of her life to become free.

My review can also be found on my blog Collections.Before I started The Girl With Borrowed Wings, my sole reason for wanting to read it was the cover.

There are tons of books out there with amazing covers but with stories that don't live up to their covers' greatness. I had a good feeling about The Girl
