Story wise, I also felt that Charisma was rather predictable in its writing, another turn off.Įven with Charisma’s predictability in mind, I enjoyed story. Such striking similarities in how the story line developed between the two was a bit of a turn off for me. But neither the drug in Charisma or the game in Nerve is perfect, and things go wrong and have to be fixed as soon as possible. They fix this by taking a drug (Charisma) or playing an extreme game (Nerve). A girl is shy (Charisma) or is said to be boring (Nerve). While I realize that this book came before Nerve, I found the two to have rather similar plots. The doctor who created and administered Charisma is now conveniently nowhere to be found. She’s not the only one who was given the drug, and others who have taken it have fallen into comas. After some internal debate, she goes ahead and takes it. She’s told that Charisma will get rid of her shyness and make her one who stands out – on the condition that she tells nobody. It’s about a girl named Aislyn who has crippling social anxiety. She’s offered an underground gene therapy drug named Charisma by a doctor she trusts. I saw Nerve when it was in theaters last summer, and because it’s based off Jeanne Ryan’s second book I went ahead and picked her first book, Charisma, up from the library.
