My Thoughts:
If it isn't
obvious already per my reviews I am a huge dystopian fan. I was first really intrigued by the cover of
this one and also the title. I really
enjoyed this book, it was a fast and engaging read and time flew by while I was
enjoying this book.
Charlotte
lives in Harrison Corners, OH with her alcoholic mom in the U.S. that is very different from the
one we know now. The U.S. is at war with
Canada over oil and the government is controlled by The Party. Everything changes when the Party comes to
Charlotte's town. Her town is now going to be a part of the war effort, and
every person who qualifies is going to be working in a factory every day making
shirts. They are forced to give up all of their electronic possessions although
none of them work anymore. Charlotte has had a crush on Fostino Sanchez for
years, although she has never talked to him and only gazed at him from a far
while passing him in the hallways at school.
Charlotte
was a great main character, she was strong on the outside but, on the inside
she was freaking out just like every other person. The book moved fast and there
was plenty of action but, one of the things that disappointed me was that at
the end of the book it never felt like
enough happened in the plot for me. But, I still really enjoyed the dystopian
world, learning about how the government worked and I am definitely wanting the
next book to find out even more about the world that Celi created it was
definitely a memorable one for a huge dystopian fan like me. I enjoyed reading
about Fostino and Charlottes budding relationship that was a little bit rushed
but, still believable.
Overall,
this book was a quick and fast paced dystopian, it was a great beginning that
had me dying to read the next book and find out what is going to happen next to
Charlotte and Fostino, definitely check it out if you are a dystopian fan.
