Dakota Skye

Dakota Skye is an adorable coming of age story with a twist. The titular character (as Jack would say) is a 17 year old high schooler with a "superpower." She is able to tell when people are lying. For the viewer, the truth comes up on screen as subtitles. She calls herself cursed with the truth and has thus become jaded about humanity. She's got herself a douchebag boyfriend, but hey since everyone lies at least this one's got a cute face (in her opinion.) She also has an absent mother, dead father, and friends who she doesn't care for anymore.

Then one day her boyfriends oldest best friend, Jonah, comes back to town. He's a cutie (he's got that certain Camburgler look to him.) But best of all, it appears that he always tells the truth! Of course they click and have a lovely road trip to the Grand Canyon resulting in my favorite line: "That's a big fucking hole." "That's a grand fucking hole." But no! They mustn't! Her boyfriend's his best friend! And Jonah's too good of a guy.

Along the way Dakota experiences a little snafu about Jonah's honesty. Is he really being honest? Or is he her arch-nemesis and her power doesn't work on him? Of course the lesson of this story is trust. But its a super cute lesson. I really enjoyed it and would maybe buy it if I saw it somewhere for cheap.
