Praise for Suzanne Young: "Readers will devour this fast-paced story that combines an intriguing premise, a sexy romance, and a shifting landscape of truth. With big questions still unanswered and promising twists, this first volume in a new series will leave readers primed for more." -- Booklist (starred review) "With this powerful psychological drama, Young contributes a unique, attention-worthy standout from the crowd of young adult dystopias." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "Enough plot twists to give a reader whiplash." -- Cosmopolitan "A visceral exploration of the eternal and misguided search for pain-free happiness in an almost-now Brave New World." -- Kirkus Reviews "Young's book is unrelentingly emotional and dark . [and] confronts readers with questions about whether the past or the present defines a person, while make[ing] a strong case for the value of all memories, good and bad." -- Publishers Weekly "[A]n entertaining, and compelling read.
" -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) "Readers will be revved up for the inevitable uprising . a suspenseful and timely read. Readers will look forward to the sequel." -- Kirkus Reviews "The story presents a clear, overt examination of gender and power, and it's a carefully constructed one, highlighting the complexities of a patriarchal system that is so ingrained and so absolute that even the most well-intentioned men and women unwittingly uphold it. A timely, perceptive read, this will leave readers, especially those grappling with the implications of the #metoo era, anxious for the sequel." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
