An excellent young adult novel telling the tale of a 16 year old young woman in a dystopian future Chicago. She confronts change, love, death, friendship, enemies, fear, and hand holding. The story is exciting and absorbing and I enjoyed it as much as my 6th grader. There is a love story element, which is a through-line in the book but it is very young love with discreet touching (hand holding) and some kissing.

My real complaint about this book is the ending. It just abruptly ends and nothing is really resolved. Be prepared and just have the second book on hand because it will drive you nuts to wait and find out what happens.
