Found: YA? Dystopian Fiction in Name that Book (September 2021)

Rezensionen

I was really excited to get this book because I had told myself that I was excited about this one, but I got a chapter in and then read the blurb and gave myself a skeptical look. Still can't figure out why I had hyped myself up for this one, because wow, have we read this story before ninety million times. There's always a secret sibling, there's always a child law.

Kept reading because I thought maybe Past-Me had had some motivation to be excitement, but the writing was pretty meh as well and this kind of just fell flat on every level. The characters had differences that were obviously put in there just to make them different, but they didn't actually feel like different people.

For a moment I thought maybe this would be redeemed when the characters enter Glacier County in Montana (hello, I left my soul there) but alas, there were just location labels being thrown around. Sigh.

I'm going to be honest. This book just wasn't for me. The beginning was really interesting and I was excited to see where it was headed and then it sort of fell off a bit. The premise of this book was a fascinating one, but I just found I couldn't keep up with it.

This book was so much better than I thought it was going to be! I'm typically a cover person, if I don't like the cover I probably won't like the book. And, being completely honest, I hate this cover.

But the story inside really is an amazing story! And it's so different from what we typically read! I would probably classify it as a dystopian/post-apocalyptic for the genre.

I also loved that the book was about twins. I've always been fascinated with twins and it's so awesome getting inside of their heads to see exactly how different they really are!

I definitely recommend reading it! And I'm excited to read the rest of the series!

Overall an engaging read. Interesting concept having identical twins forced to pretend that they are one person. The girls' father is even a prominent figure in the government, in charge of enforcing the "one child" policy.
Lots of action.
Looks like there's definitely room for a sequel?
